RE: WCCP Question

Hello Peter,

My take on it is that Cisco have introduced an newer command that compliments the "redirect out" command this being the "redirect in" .

You would use it if a router is configured with Web caches hanging off of it and a link to the internet. Traffic destined for the Internet would normally pass through the router and out the directly connected interface to the internet. With "redirect in" rather then attempting to send it out of it's interface to the internet and then redirecting back to itself and the webcaches the "redirect in" command redirects the inbound traffic straight to the caches.

To make the call as to what do you configure, redirect in or out, you need to understand the flow of traffic through the router and where the webcaches are.

Hope this helps

David

Subject: WCCP Question

Hi Group,

I have a basic question on WCCP configuration. I have a cache
engine setup like this.

Cache Engine(inside LAN)-------e0-Router-s0-----Internet

I have connected the cache engine in my LAN (inside router's e0)
and I have configured WCCP redirect on the Router as below...

router(config)#ip wccp web-cache
router(config)#interface serial0
router(config-if)#ip wccp web-cache redirect out

Is the above configuration is OK?
What is the use of command "ip wccp web-cache redirect in" and on
which interface can I use this command?
I am bit confused on which Interface to put the redirect
configuration. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Regards
Pet
