WAAS WCCP from fortinet

hello,
I need your help, we want to configure WCCP on WAE but the customer have a fortinet  firewall in agencies.
Has anyone had to do this type of setup ?
what are the  WCCP services 61 and 62? did I need to configure also to Fortinet?
Thanks for your help.

Hi Fatoumata,
The WCCP service is a number specified in the protocol to define what kind of traffic is going to be matched, so, it's not relevant for a firewall.
To allow WCCP traffic to go through a firewall (assuming it's located between the WAE and the router), you just need to allow UDP port 2048 in both directions.
If what you need to do is allowing the optimized traffic to go through the FW (which would happen if you have the FW between the router and the WAN link), then, you would need to enable some kind of WAAS inspection on the Fortinet firewall to allow the modifications that WAAS does on the TCP packets (adding a TCP option in the SYN and SYN/ACK packets and a sequence number shift after the TCP handshake). Unfortunately, I don't know how this can be done because I'm not familiar with that firewall.
Regards
Daniel

    How does QoS work with WAAS WCCP? What's the interaction between Router QoS Traffic Classification and WAE Traffic Application Policy?

    By default, WAAS preserves the DSCP marking on intercepted packets.  There is a configuration option to set/override the DSCP value at the global (device), application, and classifier levels.  Currently WAAS provides marking only.  There is no action taken by WAAS based on the DSCP value.

  • Router IOS requirements to work with WAAS WCCP?

    Can some help me with up to date switch and router IOS requirements to work with WAAS WCCP configuration? There used to be a Cisco document explaining that but I can't find it any more.
    Here is out WAAS 4.2.3 deployment in the network:
    Data center: Cat6500 Sup720-3B running IOS 12.2(18)SXF12a will do WCCP L2 redirection. I've seen minimum Sup720 IOS requirement of 12.2(18)SXF13 in one place and 12.2(18)SXF16 in another, but there are also examples of using 12.2 (18) SXF5. Which one is the latest Cisco recommendation?
    Remote sites: 3825 and 3845 routers (some are running 12.4 T train and some are in 12.4 main line) will do WCCP GRE redirection to WAE's. One of the routers will use a WAE-NME-522 module. Others are WAE applicances. Again, what are the latest Cisco recommendations?
    Another question: for an IOS release, does it matter which package to use, such as advanced IP services, enterprise services, or SP services?
    Thanks a lot.

    Here you go.
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/prod/collateral/contnetw/ps5680/ps6870/white_paper_c11-608042.html
    For IOS release, you will need a package that has WCCP support.
    Hope this helps.

  • WAAS using WCCP from 2 6509's?

    I am preparing to install a WAE in the datacenter using WCCP for redirection of traffic to 1 of my networks on a point-to-multipoint frame relay network. Where things get foggy is the WCCP server install on my "router" which is actually 2 6509's which are used to route different vlans for both redundancy and load-balancing in the Datacenter. Is it possible/advisable to set both up with WCCP to redirect to the WAE? Could this cause any unforeseen issues?
    I'm also wondering about traffic that is destined for other networks on that point-to-multipoint frame relay connection that my remote site is on which will have the other WAE. Will it be easy to specify which traffic to redirect to the WAE (that which is destined for that one remote site) or will this also cause issues?
    Thanks in advance!

    Karen,
    With WCCP, you can have multiple WAEs (theoretically up to 32) and multiple routers (again up to 32) in the service group. So in your case, both routers can be registered to the same WAE(s). You can limit traffic via a redirect-list, which is an ACL (only accept traffic to/from your remote site).
    WCCP is configured on the interfaces for the service groups you are interested in. For WAAS, you use services 61 and 62 in opposite directions to perform load balancing appropriately.
    A hint on your wccp on the 6500. Always configure redirect-in on the interfaces, L2-redirect and mask-assign to keep the traffic processed in hardware.
    Here is a link on configuring WCCP for WAAS (which I assume you are deploying).
    Hope that helps,
    Dan

  • Urgent ! Router-WAAS WCCP problem

    I have dot1q enabled 7507 connecting frame relay branch to data centre.
    Core WAAS sits on a VLAN subinterface.
    As soon as I enable "ip wcccp redirect 61 in" on VLAN trunked interface, I am loosing connection to the branch.

    The IOS version is rsp-jsv-mz.123-17b and WAAS version 4.0.13.I have tested this before without VLAN trunking on another router using a seperate interface and it was working.Any idea ?
    thanks

    thanks guys. I will explain the problem a bit more.When WAAS sits on a seperate i/f on WAN router, it works fine. i.e "wccp redirect 61 in " on interface connecting WAN router to Data Centre and "wccp redirect 62 in" on WAN frame relay. Then I configured the i/f connecting WAN router to Data Centre as dot1q trunk and a dedicated VLAN is created for WAAS. The default gateway for WAAS is HSRP address in 6509s. The WCCP router address configured in WAAS is the loopback0 address of the WAN router. The "wccp redirect 62 in" on WAN frame relay stays same. However, " wccp redirect 61 in " carried to a new subinterface on the same access as WAAS VLAN.
    All WCCP commands show that there is a connection between WAAS and WAN router, packet count goes up. However, all TCP sessions to the brach (initiated from the Data Centre) fail. I have also tested with and without "wccp redirect exclude in" on WAAS VLAN subinterface without success. Since I had to install the branch the WAAS on the weekend, I moved WAAS back to dedicated interface on WAN router. It works fine but I can not implement redundancy.
    The suggestion was to make WAN router subinterface HSRP active rather than 6509 MSFCs.So WAAS talks to WAN routers loopback address and default gateway also points to the same router rather than MSFC. I have not had a chance to test this but I will test in the coming weeks. I was also suggested to use layer2 redirection on 6509 but did not have any chance to look at it closely.
    thanks

    Hi All
          I'm sure I'm missing something simple here on a new install and I hope some one can point it out easily.  I implemented the following config which worked except it understandably broke connections as everything got redirected.  I'm running the WCCP config on a 6500 running 12.2(18) SXF
    This config showed total redirected packets climbing sharply in a 'show ip wccp' on the 6500 but this config broke other things.
    WAE:
    interface GigabitEthernet 1/0
    ip address 10.254.0.251 255.255.255.248

    To try and limit redirection to just LAN space I swapped this:

    ip wccp 62
    for this:

    Ip wccp 61 redirect-list WAAS_Outbound
    Once I did this, 'show ip wccp'  on the 6500 stopped showing redirected packets but did start showing packets being denied redirect.  Optimization stopped(according to the GUI) and I saw no hits on the access-lists(should I?).
    Thanks for your help in advance.

    A fews questions/comments:
    What type of Supervisor are you using?
    What is the exact version of software you are using?
    The fact that the 'packets redirected' counter is incrementing is a bad thing on the 6500.  It means that the redirection is happening in software.
    Can you also provide the output from the following commands:
    sh ip wccp
    sh ip wccp 61 det
    sh ip wccp 62 det
    Thanks,
    Zach

  • WAAS - WCCP L2-redirection in WS-C6509-E

    Hi,
    I have a costumer with three offices, one is the data center. The other two offices get information from the data center and between them.
    Each one of these remotes offices go through two different SP to the data center, and each one is received in his own router. The core of the data center is a switch WS-C6509-E (IOS s72033-entservicesk9_wan-vz.122-18.SXF7.bin).
    Because there are two different SP in the data center, the traffic redirection must be done in the switch c6500. I think that the following configuration is the correct one:
    ip wccp version 2
    ip wccp 61 redirect-list 101
    ip wccp 62 redirect-list 101
    interface Vlan1
    description *** WAN routers and users ***
    ip address 10.0.16.1 255.255.240.0
    ip wccp 62 redirect out
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    interface Vlan 200
    description *** WAEs ***
    ip address 10.34.114.65 255.255.255.252
    ip wccp redirect exclude in
    interface Vlan201
    description *** Servers and Users 1 ***
    ip address 10.15.240.1 255.255.240.0
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    interface Vlan202
    description *** Servers and Users 2 ***
    ip address 10.16.128.1 255.255.240.0
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    But now I read about the problems using GRE redirection in the switch c6500. I read too that the best way to do this is using L2-redirection, but I don't have any idea of how to do this. I am using the WAAS version 4.1.1.
    Can anybody help me with explaining me the way to configure that?

    Dan,
    I think that the best option for this network is number one, use WCCP on the two 7206VXRs, and redirect the traffic to a single WAE in the same subnet of the hosts.
    But now, I don't understand the implications of use the command “egress-method negotiated-return intercept-method wccp”. What else should I consider or configure (in the router or in the WAE) to make this interception works?
    I think that the configuration on the routers and in the WAE should be something like this:
    --- Router 1
    ip wccp version 2
    ip wccp 61 redirect-list 101
    ip wccp 62 redirect-list 101
    interface Serial3/3:1
    ip address 10.34.113.213 255.255.255.252
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    ip wccp 62 redirect in
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    ip address 10.0.16.2 255.255.240.0
    ip wccp redirect exclude in
    --- Router 2
    ip wccp version 2
    ip wccp 61 redirect-list 101
    ip wccp 62 redirect-list 101
    interface Serial3/3:1
    ip address 10.134.143.217 255.255.255.252
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    ip wccp 62 redirect in
    interface GigabitEthernet0/1
    ip address 10.0.16.3 255.255.240.0
    ip wccp redirect exclude in
    --- WAE
    interface GigabitEthernet 1/0
    ip address 10.0.16.4 255.255.255.0
    exit

  • WAAS, wccp service groups and DC/Branch deployment

    Hi,
    I have two design queries relating to wccp service groups and WAAS in DC and branch deployments.
    Firstly, lets say at the DC end I use wccp service 61 (source address) on the WAN interface of my edge-layer switches. I configure the L3 interfaces on the same switches (connecting to the LAN side) to use use wccp service 62 (destination address). The WAEs are using L2 at the edge layer; with masking etc.
    I've read that at the branch office you need to 'reverse' the service group setup - so that if I have the same sort of setup at the branch using 3750s and WAEs then the WAN interface should be using wccp service 62 and the LAN side using wccp service 61.
    If I assume that is correct, then how does this affect things when two branches are communicating with each other (and they are both setup the same) - will be waas not be effective in this scenario? (Assume that the DC waas does not see any branch-to-branch communication).
    What happens if you have a consistent design across your network (61 on WAN, and 62 at LAN interfaces across all WAAS sites)?
    Secondly, when using L2 wccp redirection and masking; do most deployments leave the mask as default (0x1741)? I'm thinking that in some situations it might be better to have an entire geographic location covering a few branches being sent to the same DC end WAE. For example, I might want everyone on a /24 subnet in one branch to be using the same WAE/dre cache at the DC; rather than the possibility of duplicate dre caches on DC end WAEs service the same branch subnet (I realise that redundancy might be an advantage should one DC WAE fail).
    Is there a table/calculator somewhere that can work out what mask I could use to cover /24 or /22 or even /16 subnets to direct requests to the same WAE at the DC?
    Thanks

    Excellent questions. Rule of thumb is to use source IP based load balancing, so in the branches 61/LAN - 62/WAN and in the DC 61/WAN and 62/LAN. That being said, if there is some site to site traffic at the edges, you may get some splitting, however, unless there is enough traffic to make it a "mini-dc", changing the services around is generally a wash. Also, if you only have a single WAE at the edge, it won't matter either.
    On the mask, default mask is definitely not desirable. I generally use Calc and convert my desired Mask from Binary to Hex. The following examples are assuming 4 bit masks, but you can use from 1 up to 6 or 7 max bits if you need more buckets.
    If you are looking to group /24, you could be 0xF00 or similar.
    If you are looking to group /22, use 0x3C00 or similar
    When calculating your mask, don't put your bits in the host bits, only in the network bits. Also, remember that the leftmost bit is usually the decision maker, so don't make it too far to the left or all your traffic will be on one WAE. The less WAEs in your WCCP cluster, the less bits you should use in your mask (allow some extras for fault tolerence).
    Hope that helps,
    Dan

  • WAAS / WCCP service groups / L2 adjacencies

    Hi all,
    I'm having trouble finding a definitive answer on this one. I'm working on a WAAS deployment in a network with asymmetric routing. I want to deploy WAAS accelerators at two geographically dispersed data centre sites (head end). Do the WAAS boxes themselves need to be L2 adjacent with each other in this configuration? i.e. can the service group consist of two routers (one at each DC) and two WAEs (one at each site), with routed links between the DCs (WAEs in separate IP subnets)?
    Something like:
    - two routers (rtr-A, rtr-B)
    - two WAAS accelerators (waas-A, waas-B)
    - rtr-A and waas-A are L2 adjacent and use WCCP w/L2 redirection
    - rtr-B and waas-B are L2 adjacent and use WCCP w/L2 redirection
    - rtr-A and waas-B are not L2 adjacent and use WCCP w/GRE redirection
    - rtr-B and waas-A are not L2 adjacent and use WCCP w/GRE redirection
    Here's a quick diagram:

    (all links are L3/routed)
    cheers!

    Dale,
    There is no requirement for the WAE's to be L2 adjacent to each other. Note that the WCCP Forwarding Method is negotiated per Service Group -- so it can either be L2 or GRE. Based on your description, you would want to use GRE Forwarding.

  • WAAS WCCP help

    Hi guys,
    Please have a look at my topology attached.Right now this is what I have configured on the core:
    ip wccp 61
    ip wccp 62
    int vlan 151
    ip wccp 61 redirect in
    int vlan 173
    ip wccp 62 redirect in
    The same is configured on the branch office with the appropriate vlans.
    Whatever I do, the "total packets redirected" count never seems to increase. I tried turning on ip wccp 62 redirect out on vlan 173, and ip wccp 61 redirect in on the same vlan, but then only the count for service 61 goes up.
    Also, should I use access-lists to permit redirection only to branch offices that have a WAE? If I don't use a redirect-list, shouldn't all packets be redirected to the WAE, and then the WAE would decide whether to optimize or not based on if there's another WAE at the endpoint location?
    Here's an output of "sh ip wccp 61 detail"
    WCCP Cache-Engine information:
    Web Cache ID: x.x.x.x
    Protocol Version: 2.0
    State: Usable
    Redirection: L2

    Packets Redirected: 0
    Connect Time: 00:51:22

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Since you are performing L2 rewrite under WCCP, you will not see the packets redirected increase. The redirection is handled by hardware instead of software. If redirection was done on a router, you would see packet increases.
    I have had WAAS in place for about a year now and you can see below that I have only redirected 2 packets. I am redirecting on a 6509 as well.

  • WAAS: WCCP Mask or Hash on Routers?

    I'm starting thinking about using mask assign on an ISR router running 12:4(24)T with GRE/GRE. Has anyone done this before and can you use mask assign with GRE/GRE? We need to use it with GRE/GRE because our egress method has to be WCCP return. My thought was mask assign will be much better at load balancing across multiple WAEs in a cluster than hash because you can specify a long mask assignment. Right now, see more load on WAE than the other and are sometimes getting TFO overload.

    The page you linked contains recommendations (in bold) for each platform. On the ISR G2 specifically, you should be able to use any combination of GRE/L2 and MASK/HASH assignment. Some other platforms require specific disribution and redirection methods to maintain the hardware acceleration of WCCP traffic. However, the ISR G2 does not have this requirement.
    WCCP GRE and HASH distribution on ISR G2 is typically recommended to make deployment easier. With GRE, content devices can be an L3 hop away (if needed), and it reduces the chance of customers accidentally creating a WCCP redirect loop.
    L2 distribution and HASH redirection method should typically require the least CPU and memory load on the ISR. These should perform the best in most cases.
    The MASK distribution method gives better controls on how load is divided between multiple content devices, typically at the cost of more CPU and memory utilization. If you have only one or two content devices in your cluster, typically HASH will meet the need for slightly less CPU. As Zach said, most times MASK is used on the Datacenter side to give the ability to 'tweak' how the load is distributed across multiple devices.
    Thanks,
    Aaron

  • WAAS WCCP Errors

    Any one know what "Spoofed packets dropped" and the "Packet pullups needed" are? Is the WAAS dropping packets it thinks it's being spoofed? Also, how can I get rid of the pullups? The WCCP setup is as follows; l2 forward/return to a 3750E stack switch, interfaces are setup as standby and the model is a 7371. I'm not using any WCCP redirect list.

  • WAAS Speed from local cache

    I have a WAAS demo setup in a test lab and have a simulated T1 span connecting two networks. When I transfer a file using CIFS or web initially, I see the traffic flow through the WAN. When I do the transfer a second time, I know it is getting the data from cache as there is no WAN traffic, but I am not getting it at wire speed. It is only coming to the client at about double the T1 speed. I expected almost line speed access when getting data from local cache. Is there a setting I missed or is this expected behaviour?

    Zach,
    Yes, I understand some things could break if you are careful with those commands, but doing some simple "show" commands (or using the gui) shouldn't hurt when troubleshooting without TAC. I've used some expert show commands to see which files are actively being accelerated through the edge device.
    A little off-topic, but how are the drives partitioned? Our WAE-512 edge has 2 250GB drives mirrored, the "Maximum Cache Disk Size" only shows 93GB. I understand there are probably OS, swap, and log partitions, but it would be nice to know more definitely how it is split up to explain to a customer why they don't get the "full" size of the drive.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • Enabling WAAS SSH from GUI?

    This is posible?
    As a workaround it is posible to change the file from a backup and restore that file on the WAAS? What file?
    Thanks

    Hi Alex,
    I played around with this a little it, but wasn't able to find a solution.  Looks like you'll need to get console access to the device.
