Enabling The Cache Service - Cisco WS-CBS3032-DEL Software Configuration Manual

Chapter 44 Configuring Cache Services By Using WCCP

Enabling the Cache Service

For WCCP packet redirection to operate, you must configure the switch interface connected to the client
to redirect inbound packets.
This procedure shows how to configure these features on routed ports. To configure these features on
SVIs, see the configuration examples that follow the procedure.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable the cache service, to set a multicast
group address or group list, to configure routed interfaces, to redirect inbound packets received from a
client to the application engine, enable an interface to listen for a multicast address, and to set a
password. This procedure is required.
Before configuring WCCP commands, configure the SDM template, and reboot the switch. For more

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Enable the cache service, and specify the service number which
corresponds to a dynamic service that is defined by the
application engine. By default, this feature is disabled.
(Optional) For group-address groupaddress, specify the
multicast group address used by the switches and the
application engines to participate in the service group.
(Optional) For group-list access-list, if a multicast group
address is not used, specify a list of valid IP addresses that
correspond to the application engines that are participating in
the service group.
(Optional) For redirect-list access-list, specify the redirect
service for specific hosts or specific packets from hosts.
(Optional) For password encryption-number password,
specify an encryption number. The range is 0 to 7. Use 0 for not
encrypted, and use 7 for proprietary. Specify a password name
up to seven characters in length. The switch combines the
password with the MD5 authentication value to create security
for the connection between the switch and the application
engine. By default, no password is configured, and no
authentication is performed.
You must configure the same password on each application
engine.
When authentication is enabled, the switch discards messages
that are not authenticated.
Specify the interface connected to the application engine or the
server, and enter interface configuration mode.
Enter Layer 3 mode.
Configure the IP address and subnet mask.
