WCCP inside VRF

Stan Volansky

Level 1

Hi Team,

I have one issue with WCCP redirection inside VRF. Here is my scenario:

PE router config (MPLS edge)

-------------------------------------------

ip vrf aaa

rd 10:1

route-target both 10:1

!

int facing CE router

ip vrf forwarding aaa

ip address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x

mpls bgp forwarding

!

router bgp 10

<classic MP-BGP config>

address-family vpnv4 vrf aaa

  neighbor <CE router> remote-as 100

  neighbor <CE router> activate

  neighbor <CE router> send-label

!

CE router (using VRF lite)

---------------------------------------

ip vrf aaa

rd 100:1

route-target both 100:1

!

ip wccp vrf aaa 61

ip wccp vrf aaa 62

!

int facing PE router

ip vrf forwarding aaa

ip address c.c.c.c c.c.c.c

ip wccp vrf aaa 62 redirect in

ip bgp mpls forwarding

!

int facing WAAS

ip vrf forwarding aaa

ip address w.w.w.w w.w.w.w

!

int LAN

ip vrf forwarding aaa

ip address l.l.l.l l.l.l.l

ip wccp vrf aaa 61 redirect in

!

router bgp 100

address-family vpnv4 vrf aaa

neighbor <PE router> remote-as 10

neighbor <PE router> activate

neighbor <PE router> send-label

<classic network advertising>

!

WAE config is classis WCCP with hash assignment and negotiated GRE return method. CE router does not have any issues detecting WAE appliance.

Now the mentioned issue:

Traffic from LAN to PE is being redirected OK. No issues here. But return traffic from PE router is not redirected to WAE appliance despite the fact that WCCP "redirect in" command is configured under CE WAN interface. When I remove "neighbor <CE router> send-label" command under "

address-family vpnv4 vrf aaa" on PE router, CE router starts to redirect traffic from PE to WAE appliance (but I loose label information on CE). When I configure this command back, redirection stops.

So my question is why this command is causing CE router not to redirect traffic from PE to LAN on its WAN interface? I was not able to find any restrictions regarding VRF lite and WCCP. I am using 15.2(3)T1 IOS version.

Many thanks for any inputs.

Regards,

Stan

hi Stan,

I´m not really into VRF troubleshooting but you should check this info;

If a Cisco WAAS NME-WAE network module or Cisco WAE appliance is used at a branch location and the service provider cannot strip off the labels, WCCP can be used with a route-leaking option as long as there are no overlapping IP addresses. ( that sounds like your design)

look for  WCCP Deployment

good luck!

Hi Felix,

thanks for your reply. That PDF helped a lot.

So can we say that WCCP is not able to redirect packets with MPLS header ?

Rgrds,

Stan
