WAAS Off-Path DEPLOYMENT

seegomaa · ‎01-02-2010

Hi all

If we have regonal site connected to H.O using main WAN link and on connected to branches on another router. can we use one WAAS box to optimize both traffic to H.Q on router 1 and traffic coming from branch on router 2 using WCCP ( by connecting first WAAS Physcal port to router 1 and the second port to router 2)

Thanks,

You can accomplish this by placing both routers (and the WAAS device) in the same WCCP service group. There is no need to dedicate separate physical interfaces on the WAAS device to specific networks.

Thanks Zach for your reply,

Sorry i didn't mention that in regional office we have two routers one is connecting remoter branches and second one connected to H.Q, so in this case we will use one WAE physical port to be connected to router connected to Branch and the second physical port to be connected to the second router ?

Thanks,

Mohamed,

You only need to connect a single interface in the WAAS device. There is no need to dedicated ports on the WAAS device to different network. You only need to make sure that both routers and the WAAS device are running WCCP together.
