TAG NAME wccp2_return_method

Build Option
 Default
Usage
 wccp2_return_method version_number
Default
 wccp2_return_method 1
Synopsis
WCCP2 allows the setting of forwarding methods between the router/switch and the cache.

Currently (as of IOS 12.4) cisco routers only support GRE.
Cisco switches only support the L2 redirect assignment method.

If the “ip wccp redirect exclude in” command has been enabled on the cache interface, then it is still safe for the proxy server to use a l2 redirect method even if this option is set to GRE.

Arguments

1
 GRE encapsulation (forward the packet in a GRE/WCCP tunnel)
2 L2 redirect (forward the packet using Layer 2/MAC rewriting)
