Re: [squid-users] WCCP Howto RHEL3.1 w/ 2.4.x kernel

I have executed the script (the only changes I made were to the router
address and the iptables destination port. I run squid on port 80 so
I change to the script from 3128 to 80). The script executed
flawlessly, however WCCP does not appear to be working. The show
packets being redirected:

ISSR#sh ip wccp
Global WCCP information:
    Router information:
        Router Identifier: 192.168.169.1
        Protocol Version: 1.0

    Service Identifier: web-cache
        Number of Cache Engines: 1
        Number of routers: 1
        Total Packets Redirected: 47405
        Redirect access-list: -none-
        Total Packets Denied Redirect: 0
        Total Packets Unassigned: 0
        Group access-list: -none-
        Total Messages Denied to Group: 0
        Total Authentication failures: 0

ISSR#

And it shows the ip address of my squid box:

ISSR#sh ip wccp web-cache view
    WCCP Routers Informed of:
        -none-

    WCCP Cache Engines Visible:
        150.125.125.114

    WCCP Cache Engines NOT Visible:
        -none-

ISSR#

But again, nothing in tcpdump and nothing in /var/log/squid/access.log

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
