Enabling WCCP
Groups

Optionally, you can set WCCP service groups in the Setup: Advanced Networking -
WCCP Service Groups page. WCCP enables you to redirect traffic through an HP EFS
WAN Accelerator that is not in the direct physical path between the client and the
server.

TIP: You can also use the HP EFS WAN Accelerator 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.

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.

WCCP Parameters

The following table summarizes the parameters you set for WCCP support.
