That's very good to know, thanks Adrian! I thought it may be an issue with my switch. It seems to work, just doesn't ever increment. I have some more info on my original offline_mode issue... It seems that offline_mode will work on at least one site I have found, and that site shows up as a TCP_IMS_HIT/304 or a TCP_HIT/200 depending on if I've cleared my browser's cache. I use site http://www.nyclondon.com/blog/images/tube_geo.jpg for this test because it's a nice 1MB image that really shows when cache doesn't work. This site is about the ONLY site that actually shows up as a HIT in the logs. Other sites (google start page for example) will ALWAYS be a TCP_MISS/200 over and over. Why would this ever be the case? -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Chadd [mailto:adrian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Sunday, October 01, 2006 7:03 PM To: Shaun Skillin (home) Cc: Mernoz Rostangi; Squid Users Subject: Re: offline mode issue On Sun, Oct 01, 2006, Shaun Skillin (home) wrote: > Hi Mernoz, > Yes, it is documented to use the same IP address for eth0 and wccp0, which I thought was strange too, but apparently helps things. > Router-ID will be the highest IP address on any interface. This is the same behavior as OSPF, BGP, and other router-id's, but I don't see a way to override this with wccp. > Wccp2_router value must be an IP address as far as I know. > The L2-forward/GRE-return is odd to me also, but apparently what the switch wants to do, and cannot be changed. Another thing that is odd is that the "redirection packets" counter does not increment on the switch. Everything seems to work now, except for the offline_mode (my original post). I'm still scratching my head about that one. Thats documented - most of the WCCPv2 counters don't increment on a 3550 IIRC. http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps646/products_configura tion_guide_chapter09186a00801cdf38.html#28880 Thats for 12.1(19)EA1.
