Ta b l e 5-1 Summary of Architecture Scenarios

Architecture Scenario Description

Architecture Scenario 1,

Single Subnet, page 8

This architecture has the following characteristics:

• Web transactions are transparently redirected

to the Web Security appliance, and those

transactions are redirected by a WCCP enabled

router.

• The adaptive security appliance, WCCP router,

and Web Security appliance reside on the same

subnet.

Architecture Scenario 2,

Multiple Subnets, page 10

This architecture is similar to Architecture Scenario

1, Single Subnet except that the Web Security

appliance resides on a different subnet than the

adaptive security appliance and WCCP router.

Architecture Scenario 3,

Explicit Forward Proxy,

page 12

This architecture is similar to Architecture Scenario

1, Single Subnet except that client applications are

configured to explicitly forward web traffic to the

Web Security appliance as a Web Proxy. There is no

need for a WCCP enabled router.

Architecture Scenario 4,

Non-WCCP Router,

page 15

This architecture uses a router, but the router is not

WCCP enabled. Instead, the ASA (which is WCCP

enabled) uses WCCP to redirect web traffic to the

WSA. You might want to use this architecture if

you do not have a router that is WCCP enabled.
