iip web-cache redirect command problem

[zoushan]

Hello,

There is sample in : http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/lan/c3550/12112cea/3550scg/swwccp.htm

Fast Ethernet interfaces 0/2 to 0/5 are connected to the clients and they are configure as :ip wccp web-cache redirect in .And Fast Ethernet interface 0/1 is connected to the cache engine and it does not configure as : ip wccp web-cache redirect out.

in : http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios121/121cgcr/fun_c/fcprt3/fcd305.htm

The sample in this doc is configure as :ip wccp web-cache redirect out.

I want to know the different of :ip wccp web-cahe redirect out and ip wccp web-cache redirect in. And in which condition I shall use ip wccp web-cache redirect out and in which condition I shall use ip wccp web-cache redirect in ?

Sir,

The ip web-cache redirect in command is only a new addition in the late 12.1 and 12.2 train of IOS. Both commands do the same thing except the redirect in is on the interface where client sourced traffic enters the router and the redirect out is on the interface interface of the router. You do no use both at the same time.

My preference is for redirect in as the router does not need to route the packet because wccp picks the packet up on the incomming interface.

Cheers
