For the following protocols, which one provides a mechanism to transparently intercept and
redirect CIFS traffic from a client to a local Cisco Wide Area Application engine?
A.
Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP)
B.
File Transport Protocol (FTP)
C.
Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP)
D.
Web Cache Communication Protocol (WCCP)
Explanation:
Web Cache Control Protocol
Description
The Web Cache Control Protocol (WCCP) feature allows you to use a Cisco Cache Engine to
handle web traffic, thus reducing transmission costs and downloading time. This traffic includes
user requests to view pages and graphics on World Wide Web servers, whether internal or
external to your network, and the replies to those requests. shows a sample WCCP network
configuration.
Figure 1 Sample Cisco Cache Engine Network Configuration
When a user (client) requests a page from a web server (located in the Internet, in this case), the
router sends the request to a Cisco Cache Engine (Cache 1, Cache 2, or Cache 3). If the cache
engine has a copy of the requested page in storage, the engine sends the user that page.
Otherwise, the engine gets the requested page and the objects on that page from the web server,
stores a copy of the page and its objects (caches them), and forwards the page and objects to the
user.
WCCP transparently redirects HTTP requests from the intended server to a Cisco Cache Engine.
End users do not know that the page came from the cache engine rather than the originally
requested web server. The Using the Cisco Cache Engine publication contains detailed
information about the Cisco Cache Engine and discusses alternative network configurations.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/11_2/feature/guide/wccp.html#wp2040
