There is zero need to patch for support WCCPv2. It's been
built
into
Squid for many years now.

Run "./configure --help".
  * If it lists "--disable-wccpv2" there is no need to do
anything.
  * If it lists "--enable-wccpv2" , add that to your build
options.
  * If it does not mention "wccpv2" at all upgrade your Squid
version.
Then setup squid.conf with the relevant wccp2_* options.

http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/ or the wiki example
configs
have
details on those.
Thanks again.
Running the ./configure --help only says this:
 --disable-wccp          Disable Web Cache Coordination V1
Protocol
 --disable-wccpv2        Disable Web Cache Coordination V2
Protocol
When I did the install I ran the ./configure --enable wccp
option.
I
didn't
say --enable-wccpv2, does this matter?  I also have this in the
config:
wccp2_router 192.168.16.1
wccp2_forwarding_method 1
wccp2_return_method 1

I am running Squid Web Proxy 2.7.STABLE5.
Okay. Thats fine.

The ./configure results mean that both WCCP versions are built
into
Squid by default unless you explicitly say --disable. Nothing
extra
needed to build them.

The config options you have there are already WCCPv2-only
options
for
Cisco. Nothing new needed there either.

If thats not working its a config error somewhere.

I am getting this in my cache log:

Accepting proxy HTTP connections at 0.0.0.0, port 3128, FD 20.

_
to_.2A:8080_.28125.29_Address_already_in_use

I would suspect this as part of the problem. The WCCP router will
be
trying to contact whatever software is already running on port
3128,
not
the Squid you are starting with WCCP config.

Accepting ICP messages at 0.0.0.0, port 3130, FD 22.
WCCP Disabled.
Accepting WCCPv2 messages on port 2048, FD 23.
To answer your earlier question:
  the above two lines means WCCPv1 is disabled, WCCPv2 is being
used.
Initialising all WCCPv2 lists

As from my other posting I need WCCP enabled but it is showing
disabled.
Any reason why?  How can I resolve this.  Below is my lines in
config
wccp2_router 192.168.16.1
wccp2_forwarding_method 1
wccp2_return_method 1
The above are only the config of how squid sends packets to the
Cisco.
WCCP requires configuration Cisco, the squid box OS and firewall,
and
routing tables. Any one of which could be the problem.
The tutorials and troubleshooting info we have at present is a
little
spread out and disjointed. What how-to are you working from?

Amos
Amos,
I just did a TCP dump and I think my problem is the GRE packet.  It
is
being
listed I think as unknown.  Shouldn't squid be able to pick the
packet
up
and open it?  The Cisco sees squid and relays the information good
but
it
is
stopping at the squid box. Any ideas?  I am just google'ing around
no
set
how to.
Okay. I've polished up our exemplar configs a little:
 http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/Wccp2
(some way to go though).

There are four parts to WCCP systems:

 1) WCCP capture and redirect

 2) gre tunnel between the Cisco and Squid boxes

 3) squid box firewall settings and NAT capture of received gre
 packets
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept#Traffic_Interception_cap>>
t
ure_into_Squid

 4) squid.conf settings to make Squid contact the cisco router

Amos

From what I have read and what you show only for the PIX and ASA
should
be
the same.  The Pix is actually correct for the ASA, although that is
what
Cisco told me to do.
Hmm, I was worried a bit by this. Then realized what the problem was.
The difference appears to have been only a security ACL added to the ASA
config and the screwy wrapping.

Thanks for that hint.

As far as:
wccp2_router - My cisco router address
wccp2_forwarding_method - I took this out of my config as GRE is
default
wccp2_return_method - same as forward
wccp2_assignment_method - nothing in config
wccp2_service - nothing in config

Am I missing something?  If I have my cisco config turned on for WCCP
and
squid running no one can browse the web.  If I turn squid off and
leave
wccp
running on the Cisco browsing web is perfect. No issues.  Anything
else
to
check?
... rp_filter settings on the Squid box are turned off.

... iptables does REDIRECT or DNAT capture of the packets to the Squid
http_port marked with "transparent"

Does that help?  Let me know what you need from me so we can resolve
this.
I did mask off my IP but the IP prior to the > is the ASA and the
numbers
after is the squid server

Thanks
Amos,

I have this in my sysctl config:
net.ipv4.ip_forward =1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 0

That should take care of the rp_filter.  Although how can I check that
I
don't know.  I am also running transparent so I assume that iptables
thing
you wrote I do not need to do?

Thanks


I am starting to look more into this and what I see is this on the
firewall
log:
Oct 21 12:03:37 bert ipfw:  12313 Accept P:47 192.168.xx.1
192.168.xx.xxx
in
via en1

P47 is GRE so I can see that the GRE packet from the ASA is passed and
accepted to the squid server.  I do not think Squid knows how to either
decipher the GRE packet and or when it tries to send the information
back
out its not going back to the client or ASA.  How can I resolve this?
Aha, you have an ASA. Somehow I missed that detail earlier. This is the
specific ASA config details we have so far:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/ConfigExamples/Intercept/CiscoAsaWccp2

Check that you have the squid bypass in the config. Thats one of the
critical parts.

Good tracking so far.

It's the OS business to unwrap the GRE packet into a normal TCP packet
before passing it to Squid. I'm not sure how ipfw ensures that. modprobe
ip_gre?

The next bit will be to see if Squid receives the packet at all. With
debug_options ALL,6 or so cache.log should record a connection accepted
from the client and show what happens to it.

Amos

Amos,

Got it working, but I am having some timeout issues when browsing all
websites.  Do you know why or know what I can look for?  I do see the ASA
and squid server communicating now.

Thanks

Not a clue. I'd guess some delays on the network. Perhaps during DNS lookups.

Amos
