WCCP is a layer 3 routing protocol that will route traffic based on authentication status, and other bits of information that can be passed to the WCCPD "home" router.
Basically, you enable wccpd on the squid proxy server, telling it where the home router is, and an authentication info. After that, all the direction comes from the router braodcasting the info, which makes intelligent info based on other routers sending either radius or AD, or LDAP authent info. An easier way is to put the proxy in transparent mode, and have nat enabled on the squid box with basic firewalling, and let it be the gateway...thus being able to use DHCP to control the client settings..but this is not ideal for multiple subnets using the same box, in which case WCCP is the best way to go. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Cris Boisvert Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 11:24 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: WCCPD? We currently have squidguard running as a Filter on port 8080 where people define the filter in their browser to use it.. We are helping out a school systems that wants to do the same thing although they need it to Have a router do the port 80 redirects so that they don't have to go change 500 browser options and the kids cannot remove the proxy settings.. I've read that I need to setup wccpd on the squid machine to get it to work with the wccp cisco router redirect.? Has anyone out their done this? Does anyone have a better what of doing this?
