HP Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator manual Enabling Wccp Groups

Enabling WCCP Groups

94

You can enable WCCP service groups in the Advanced Networking - WCCP Service Groups page.

WCCP enables you to redirect traffic that is not in the direct physical path between the client and the server. To enable WCCP, the HP EFS WAN Accelerator must join a service group at the router. A service group is a group of routers and HP EFS WAN Accelerators which define the traffic to redirect, and the routers and HP EFS WAN Accelerators the traffic goes through.

Enabling WCCP is optional.

TIP: You can also use the HP EFS WAN Accelerator Command Line Interface (CLI) to configure WCCP service groups. For detailed configuration information (including configuring the WCCP router), see the HP StorageWorks Enterprise File Services WAN Accelerator Deployment Guide.

NOTE: The following section assumes you are familiar with WCCP. For detailed information about WCCP, see the Cisco documentation Web site at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/home/home.htm.
