WCCP on a 3550

[Chkaotic]

I am trying to get WCCP running on a Cisco 3550, and am running into issues. Per Cisco, the 3550 supports a limited command set of WCCPv2 (2 commands).

I have set "ip wccp web-cache" on the 3550, and have set "ip wccp web-cache redirect in" on the vlan interfaces that the client computers connect to.

I do not show anything is being passed through under "show ip wccp", but it does show the cache engines. If I set an end-user proxy to the cache engine, it works fine.. but I really dont want to do that.

Any ideas?

Note: I noticed Cisco stating that most other commands, like ip wccp web-cache redirect OUT, are not supported.. is it still supposed to work okay that way though?

What type of cache are you running? If you are trying to get this to run with a squid cache there are some other things you need to setup. Also make sure that you have wccp enabled on the interface you are redirecting from as well. i would run it without a redirect list first to get it up and running. then run the redirect list to classify certain cache-able traffic.

I have a NetCache box. On the 3550 I have "ip wccp web-cache" enabled in config mode, and "ip wccp web-cache redirect in" enabled on all of the vlan interfaces that the users are on.

Those are the only two commands I can use, no redirect list, no group, no redirect out.. nothing. Per Cisco, not even the counters under "show ip wccp web-cache" will report correctly. Also per Cisco, their setup tells me that every port you use must be a layer 3 port (if its not layer 3, the "ip wccp web-cache redirect in" command is not available). I can enter the command on the vlan interfaces since they are L3, but I am wondering if it will work with vlan interfaces or not.

As I said, if I setup IE to use the cache engine as a proxy, it works fine.
