IRONPORT ASYNCOS 6.3 FOR WEB USER GUIDE
Table 3-1 describes each part of the WCCP configuration syntax for enabling WCCP on the
router.
You can also configure a WCCP router to perform other tasks, such as the following:
• Configure the router from exclude redirecting traffic received on a particular interface.
• If the network uses multiple Web Security appliances, you can configure the router to
determine which traffic should be directed to which appliance by using an access list. You
might want to redirect only some of the network traffic to the appliance if you are
evaluating the Web Security appliance.
Note — The Web Security appliance does not support using a multicast address in the WCCP
service group. To use multiple routers in a service group, you must specify the IP address of
each router in the service group and configure each router separately. You cannot register a
router to a multicast address.
