Cisco Catalyst 4503 + WAAS with WCCP

[david.thimotti]

Hello community!

Do I need to intercept traffic with WCCP on a Cisco Catalyst 4503! Does anyone have a sample configuration for this scenario?

I tried several settings, but without success.

I have this alarm in Cisco WAAS:

WCCP router 10.10.10.10 unusable for service id: 62 reason: Assignment method mismatch with router

Thank's

That indicates your WAAS device is sending an assignment method (probably HASH) that is not supported by this 4500.

In the 4500 scenario WAAS must be L2 adjacent, and configured for L2-redirect and MASK assignment, and L2-return (if your version of WAAS supports it).

I'm not sure what version of WAAS you are running.

If running  WAAS 5.x your config will look like this (since the defaults are l2-redirct, mask, and l2 return).

wccp router-list 1 10.10.10.10

wccp tcp-promiscuous service-pair 61 62

router-list-num 1

enable

exit

If running WAAS 4.x your config will look like this:

wccp version 2

wccp router-list 1 10.10.10.10

wccp tcp-promiscuous service-pair 61 62 failure-detection 30

wccp tcp-promiscuous service-pair 61 62 router-list-num 1

wccp tcp-promiscuous service-pari 61 62 l2-redirect mask-assign l2-return
