Asymmetric routing seen in WAE when using 6500 switch

[dhanasekaran.r]

Hi all,

When we do self diagnostic test for WAE connected to the 6500 switch i get warning as below. Due to this alert there is no major acceleration benfits by the WAAS

Test WARN  [tfo]
     WARN  ASYMMETRIC       Asymmetric routing is seen in the device
     Action:
     Check router's network configuration and WCCP redirection on the router.

usevwa1#

6509 switches has only L2 capability and does not do WCCP redirection. The WCCP re-direction is done by 2821 routers.

Is there any command which needs to be given in 6500 switch to solve the issue

Hi Dhanasekaran,

unfortunately you have to check the redirection policies and the routing table of the devices and force both the directions to pass through the same WAE.

If you have a topology diagram please send it to me also the configuration of the devices that do WCCP redirection.

Thanks,

Alessandro
