WAAS/WCCP w/bad recv_id

[sbeukenkamp]

Unable to figure out what I am doing wrong. Similar config on a 2811 with an WAE-NM is working as expected.

High level network setup has a central WAAS manager running on WAE-512 a central WAAS enterprise server running on a WAE-612 which is connected to a Cisco 3750. Remote office is running a 2811-WAE502. IP connectivity is ok.

The WAE-612 and the Cat3750 a connected through L2 WCCP.

Configured a WAE-612 WAAS engine to a Cisco Catalyst 3750 and getting WAAS event messages on the 3750 containing w/bad rcv_id 00000000. I solved this by changing from GRE to L2 on the WAE and now the 3750 is correctly registered to the WAE. But now I got message like

Need some advise,

WAE-612 is running 4.1.1c

Cat3750 is running 12.2(44)SE2 AdvIPSer

12.4(15)T8 is probably a little more stable for WCCP then what you were using as L2/MASK features were just introduced. I have a lot of customers running 12.4(15)Tx w/NMEs and GRE redirect so I think that is a good solution.

Traffic passing through 1 WAAS box will just be put into passthrough, not dropped. During the 3-way handshake, if another WAE isn't detected, those connections are put into passthrough and not touched for optimization.

So WAAS won't help out for internet traffic unless there is another WAAS box at the other end. I would exclude that traffic if at all possible to elminate operational overhead. If you have a WAAS box at the other end (at a proxy site or something), then I would try accelerating it.

Hope that helps, remember to rate the conversations if you get a chance.

Thanks,
