What is WCCP redirect?

What is WCCP redirect?

Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP) is a Cisco-developed content-routing protocol that provides a mechanism to redirect traffic flows in real-time. It has built-in load balancing, scaling, fault tolerance, and service-assurance (failsafe) mechanisms.

How do I enable WCCP?

Understanding the configuration of WCCP

1. Step1: Configure WCCP Version 2.
2. Step2: Specify the IP Address of WSA in an ACL.
3. Step3: Specify which traffic needs to be redirected to WSA using an ACL.
4. Step4: Configure WCCP Service IP and combine all the parameters.
5. Step5: Apply WCCP on the interface of the Router.

What is IP WCCP?

You can use the Web cache communications protocol (WCCP) to redirect traffic (usually Web page requests) to another device in real time. The most common use for WCCP is redirecting Web traffic to a server that provides Web caching, filtering, or other services.

What is WCCP in FortiGate?

WCCP stands for “Web Cache Coordinator Protocol”. The idea is to transparently redirect user traffic to a cache (that is: no explicit web proxy configured on client web browser). Client traffic going through the FortiGate is intercepted and redirected to a web proxy.

What is WCCP bypass?

Bypassed requests are unchanged by the ARM; they retain their client source IP address. With WCCP v2, you can exclude certain router interfaces from redirection. This causes the router to exclude traffic inbound on the specified interface from all redirection rules.

What is Cisco ITD?

Cisco® Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) is a multiterabit Layer 4 load-balancing, traffic steering, and clustering solution on the Cisco Nexus® 5000, 6000, 7000, and 9000 Series Switches.

What is Web Cache Control Protocol?

The Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP), developed by Cisco Systems, specifies interactions between one or more routers (or Layer 3 switches) and one or more web-caches.

Does FortiGate support WCCP?

FortiGate units support WCCPv1 and WCCPv2. A FortiGate unit in NAT/Route or transparent mode can operate as a WCCP server. To operate as a WCCP client a FortiGate unit must be in NAT/Route mode. FortiGate units communicate between WCCP servers and clients over UDP port 2048.

Does Nexus 9000 Support WCCP?

With the Cisco Nexus platform (5k/6k/7k/9k series), WCCP is no longer an option. It has been replaced with a new feature known as Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD). Within a Nexus switch, ITD operates as a service.

What is ITD in networking?

Intelligent Traffic Director (ITD) is a Cisco proprietary technology. It is capable of load balancing and traffic steering in the data centre. The Nexus N5K, N6K, N7K, and N9K switches offer ITD support. ITD needs the Enhanced Layer 2 or Network Services license.

Is caching same as spooling?

2. Caching is ________ spooling. Explanation: None.

What is forward caching?

A forward cache is a cache outside the web server’s network, e.g. in the client’s web browser, in an ISP, or within a corporate network. A network-aware forward cache only caches heavily accessed items.
