WCCP Configuration Guidelines

Before configuring WCCP on your switch, make sure to follow these configuration guidelines:
The application engines and switches in the same service group must be in the same subnetwork
directly connected to the switch that has WCCP enabled.
Configure the switch interfaces that are connected to the web clients, the application engines, and
the web server as Layer 3 interfaces (routed ports and switch virtual interfaces [SVIs]). For WCCP
packet redirection to work, the servers, application engines, and clients must be on different subnets.
Use only nonreserved multicast addresses when configuring a single multicast address for each
application engine.
