Configuring a service group (editing wccp.config)

Open the file and define the service group

Steps

  1. On the Configure > Networking > WCCP page, click Edit File to open wccp.config in the editor.
    • Defined service groups are summarized at the top of the page.
    • Click an entry in the list to view its complete details, modify, or reposition it.
    • When an entry is selected, the down and up arrows to the left of the list reposition the entry in the list.
    • Click X to delete a selected entry.
  2. For each service group, enter the following information:
    1. To enable a service group, set Service Group Status to Enabled. A service group can be defined but not active.
    2. Specify a unique Service Group Name. The service group name is an aid to administration.
    3. Specify a WCCP Service Group ID from 0-255. This ID must match a corresponding service group ID configured on the router. See Configuring service groups on the WCCP device.
    4. Specify the network Protocol applicable to the service group (TCP or UDP).
    5. Specify the Ports that this service group will use.

      Select Specify ports to enter up to 8 ports in a comma-separated list.

      Select All ports to redirect traffic from all ports.

      Important: Every port in the service group must have a corresponding ARM redirection rule to redirect the traffic to Content Gateway. See The Content Gateway ARM.
    6. From the drop down list, select the Network Interface on the Content Gateway host system that this service group will use.
      Note: When the FTP protocol is enabled, select eth0. Client machines must be reachable via the eth0 interface.
