WAE and WCCP mismatch

fisherstephen
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I seem to be having a lot of trouble with a very simple implementation. I have 2 routers and a data centre WAE via WCCP. These devices are on the same L2/L3 segment (x.x.x.0/24). The WAN interfaces on the routers are in different networks. The remote WAE is inline. I configured ip wccp 61 redirect in on the LAN interface of each router and ip wccp 62 redirect in on the WAN interface of each router.  I get the alarm "WCCP router x.x.x.1(LAN) unusable for service id:61 reason redirection mismatch with router" and "WCCP router x.x.x.1(LAN) unusable for service id:62 reason redirection mismatch with router". For the WAN interfaces I get the alarm they are unreachable for the service ID.

Snadard router config

ip wccp version 2

ip wccp 61

ip wccp 62

int gi0/0

description LAN

ip address x.x.x.1

ip wccp 61 redirect in

int gi0/1

description WAN

ip address y.y.y.1

ip wccp 62 redirect in

Should I only be trapping inbound traffic on the LAN interface ?

The other thing I noticed was these messages from the PIX on the same L2/L3 segment

Hi Stephen,

The "Redirection mismatch" messages indicate that the redirection or return method configured on the WAE is not compatible with the router. Probably, the routers you are using don't support L2 redirection

Moving forward, I would recommend you to change the line "wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1 hash-source-ip hash-destination-ip l2-redirect l2-return" for "wccp tcp-promiscuous router-list-num 1". This will negotiate hash assignment, as well as GRE redirection and return, which are the parameters supported by most platforms.

As for the firewall messages, it seems that some WCCP negotiation packets (UDP port 2048) are being dropped. Unfortunately, my firewall knowledge is very limited, so I cannot really help you with that part.

Regards

Daniel

Hi Stephen,

It looks to me as your firewall is blocking / dropping packets on port 2048. Please make sure firewall is allowing traffic between WAE and WCCP routers thru firewall over UDP port 2048, bidirectionally.

As Daniel mentioned above, open up the wccp on WAE to negotiate itself with whatever router supports. You can find more details on router supported WCCP parameters at this link:

Take care.
