Transparent caching proxy, ASA-Squid3

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A little kick here if you don't mind, as there were no more replies so far.

I have unfortunately not been abe to get my setup to work. Any suggestions, as before, are welcome.

Regards,

Bart

I'm sorry for the delay; I had a bad case of Easter holidays.

The network setup is as such; the ASA is in the network management VLAN, the Squid proxy is in the server VLAN.
The VLANs are routed on a Cisco 3750, on the ASA's inside interface.
Is this a problem? I tried looking for information on that earlier, but could not find any.

Mr. Ritter, I assume you meant to say that the ASA can only deal with switched networks in doing WCCP? That would explain why it wouldn't work.
It would also be most inconvenient and strange for Cisco to make it that way, as the ASA is really just a router with more focus on security.

In any case, thanks for the replies.

Regards,

Bart

What is your network setup?

What is the position of each device related to the other on the network?

both of them on the same network?
