WCCP v2 setup outline

Steps

  1. Install and configure your WCCP v2 devices. On each WCCP v2 device:
    • Configure the service groups.
    • Configure password security, if needed.
    • Configure multicast communication, if needed. See Configuring WCCP v2 routers.
  2. Configure Content Gateway to work with your WCCP devices.
    • Define matching service groups.

      In addition to network interface, protocols, ports, authentication (if used), and multicast communication (if used), also configure:

      • The IP addresses of the WCCP v2 devices.
      • The Packet Forward Method and Packet Return Method.
      • If Content Gateway is deployed in a cluster, assignment method load distribution, if desired.
    • Create ARM redirect rules for non-standard ports.

      See Enabling WCCP v2 in Content Gateway and The Content Gateway ARM.

  3. Validate the configuration with test traffic.
