Chapter 1 Configuring Traffic Interception
Configuring WCCP on WAEs
By default, weights are not assigned and the traffic load is distributed evenly between the WAEs in
a service group.
f. In the Password field, specify the password to be used for secure traffic between the WAEs within
a cluster and the router for a specified service. Be sure to enable all other WAEs and routers within
the cluster with the same password. Passwords must not exceed eight characters in length. Do not
use the following characters: space, backwards single quote (`), double quote ("), pipe (|), or
question mark (?). Reenter the password in the Confirm Password field.
Note For information about how to use the CLI to specify the service group password on a router,
see the “Setting a Service Group Password on a Router” section on page 1-10.
Step 17 Click Submit to save the settings.
To configure WCCP settings from the CLI, you must first set the interception method to WCCP by using
the interception-method global configuration command, and then you can use the wccp flow-redirect,
wccp router-list, wccp shutdown, and wccp tcp-promiscuous global configuration commands.
For more information about a graceful shut down of WCCP Version 2 on WAEs, see the “Configuring
WAEs for a Graceful Shutdown of WCCP” section on page 1-26.
Configuring or Viewing the WCCP Settings on ANCs
This section describes how to configure or view WCCP settings on WAAS devices configured as
AppNav Controllers (ANCs). Typically, you configure ANCs and their settings through the AppNav
Clusters window in the Central Manager, which includes WCCP settings, so you do not need to configure
the WCCP settings outside the AppNav Cluster context as described in this section.
If you want to configure or view the WCCP settings on WAEs configured as application accelerators,
see the “Configuring or Viewing the WCCP Settings on WAEs” section on page 1-17. To configure
interception settings on WAEs operating as WAAS nodes for an AppNav Controller, see the
“Configuring AppNav Interception” section on page 1-56.
Device group configuration is not possible beginning with WAAS version 5.0. However, you can use the
Copy Settings taskbar icon in the configuration window to copy the settings to other devices in your
network. To ensure consistency, we recommend that you copy the same WCCP settings to all devices in
the same WCCP service farm.
To modify the WCCP settings for an ANC, follow these steps:
Step 1 From the WAAS Central Manager menu, choose Devices > device-name.
Step 2 Choose Configure > Interception > Interception Configuration. The Interception Configuration
window appears. (See Figure 1-3.)
