Hi,
i am in a bit of a situation.
The customer has nortel routers which do not run WCCP on them.
I want to have transparent proxy caching to reduce load on proxy servers as well as save bandwith.
will a simple redirection of http traffic form the noretl routers to ce-565 do the trick.
i have configured ce-565 as an outgoing proxy server.
users have http browser pointing to the proxy server.
ce-565 sits between the proxy servers and the users.
any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards,
Amit.

On the CE565 make sure you have
l4-switch enable
http proxy incoming
https proxy incoming
ftp proxy incoming
On the router just policy route the packets with a destination port of what is set in the browser to the caches interface

Hi lynchp,
thanks for the update.
I tried out a different setup.
i put the cache engine in the real i.p zone.
the clients are pointing their browser to the proxy server i.p. I am redirecting the proxy traffic
to the cache engine on port 8080.
customer inisisted on having this setup.
The caching is happening but it is around 20% if i see the show statistics http savings and there are a lot of misses also.
i have a query that if the customer wants to limit the GUI access of the Cache to a few i.ps since it is on the real-ip zone,will the trusted hosts command do the trick.

Yes you are correct about the trusted hosts command. The savings you are seeing will increase over time, it can take 5 days of normal traffic to get an accurate indication of savings

Hi lynchp,
thanks for the reply. guess i will have to wait for few more days for viewing the actual savings.
thaks for the suggestions.
