Hello there

I am trying to add a squid server into my cache array. An easy thing to do or so I thought until I came across the issue of WCCPv2. I checked on the squid cache site and it say’s that it’s not supported at current. But I have heard rumours about wccp and gre modules floating about on the net which will have the ability to make the whole thing work. I’m running a RH7.1 out of box server with the 2.4.2smp kernel along with squid 2.4.STABLE3. My Cisco kit is a 3600 Router (with wccpv2) along with a 500 series Cache Engine. I've searched on the net for clues but haven't been successful. So my question is there anywhere I can go to get the files or of anything thing I can do in my current setup to get it to work? Even partially?

Much appreciated.

Is there anyone out there who can help? even if you are in this situation too? Any links or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

HI,

I am still meeting the problems on the squid and WCCP. I have searched many documents regards cache engine, but still cannot solve the problems.

I configure WCCP version 1 works on my LAN. I use Cisco 2600 with version 12.1(5)T8. Hope this share with you


Setting of Cisco:
ip wccp version 1
ip wccp web-cache
ip wccp web-cache redirect out

Show IP WCCP web-cache detail:
WCCP Cache-Engine information:

Cache Engine use Squid 2.4stable 1:
wccp_version 4

The packets redirect to Cache Engine is very slow (you can see there only redirect 8 packets) when I am surfing internet and Internet browser finally is time out.

Even Cisco forums, no one advise me.
