Nexus N7710 WCCP question

[Peyman Zadmehr]

Hi

I read about WCCP support on Nexus 7710 and it seems it is supported.

I have two questions about this feature:

1-Does this feature support IPv4 and IPv6 or just IPv4?

2-Should I enable routing on IPv4 and IPv6 for having this feature?

Thank you

Hi @Peyman Zadmehr 

WCCPv2 on Nexus 7K only supports IPv4. There is no command or feature on Nexus platforms to "enable routing", however if you want to configure SVIs, yu do need to enable feature interface-vlan.

To have the WCCP feature working you need to:

Step 1. Enable the WCCPv2 feature.
Step 2. Configure a WCCPv2 service group.
Step 3. Apply WCCPv2 redirection to an interface

What else you need to be aware about is the line cards which supports the WCCP, as well as all the other guidelines and limitations. You can find all these details in the config guide, which I strongly recommend reading it, before considering implementing WCCP:

Stay safe,
