WCCP Multivendor Group

erickflamenco — Tue, 17 May 2005 20:12:30 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to build a WCCP service group with a CE500 ACNS 5.2.3,

Cisco Router with 12.2.8T5 and

CE BlueCoat ProxySG 3.2.4.8,

At this time the router can build the service just with one of them, but not with both.

Do you know if there is some restriction to form this multivendor service group in order to do load-balancing?

Your responses will be greatly appreciated...

Erick

There is no restriction on building service group with more than one device. If the setup is not working then there must be some problem with the configuration. Have a look at the following URL which explains the WCCP configuration in detail.

Thanks for your response,

As Release notes http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/conntsw/ps491/prod_release_note09186a008034fc5d.html appoints:

"Because of these enhancements, receivers using ACNS 5.2 software cannot interact with senders using ACNS 5.0 or 5.1 software. The ACNS 5.2 multicast receiver will ignore files sent from an ACNS 5.0 or 5.1 multicast sender. However, an ACNS 5.2 multicast sender can interoperate with ACNS 5.0 or 5.1 multicast receivers because the software detects the lower software version and disables the checkpoint feature. Therefore, we recommend that you upgrade your multicast sender to ACNS 5.2 software first and then upgrade your receivers to ACNS 5.2 software"

After reading this note, I have open this case, please note that I'm dealing with a CacheFlow running another operating system not ACNS and I hope to add my Cisco ACNS CE to his group.

Erick
