Overview

An Exinda appliance can accelerate traffic routed using the WCCP v2. You can use this topology when you want application acceleration, but do not wish to install the Exinda appliance inline.

This article explains how to enable WCCP on the Exinda appliance.

Process

1. Access the CLI from the Web UI or via SSH, Telnet, or Serial Port in privileged (enable) mode and configure mode (configure terminal).
2. Assign an interface for WCCP.
   
   
   • For a unicast configuration, set the router IP address for each WCCP v2 service:
     
     

     wccp interface <interface-name>
     
     wccp service <service-group number> router <router-IP-address>

      

     Example:

     Assign interface eth2 to WCCP v2 traffic with service class 10 from 192.168.0.1

     wccp interface eth2
     
     wccp service 10 router 192.168.0.1

     NOTE: Ensure you set the router to the highest IP address available on the router.
   
   
   • For a multicast configuration, set a group-address for WCCP v2 traffic.
     
     

     (config)# wccp interface <interface-name>
     
     (config)# wccp service <service-group number> group-address <multicast-address>
     
     

     
     Example:

     Assign interface eth2 to WCCP v2 traffic with service class 10 from the multicast address: 224.1.1.1

     wccp interface eth2
     
     wccp service 10 group-address 224.1.1.1

3. If a password has been configured for service on the router, add that password on the Exinda.
   
   

   (config) # wccp service <service-group number> password <password>
