wccpv2 and L2 redirection

Hi all,

I am trying to implement squid+wccp along with a cisco 3550. i was able to compile the visolve wccp2 patch for squid and the kernel. and got them running okay.

However, when i run Squid in wccpv1 (and the cisco 3550) the cisco only redirects traffic destined for itself. (i have an open case with cisco about this).

So i tried implementing wccpv2. to my dismay the cisco 3550 does not support wccpv2 with GRE packet redirection. it must use Layer 2 redirection. so when i run squid with the wccpv2 i get the following errors on the cisco 3550 (off course i change both configs on cisco and squid wccp2_router and ip wccp version 2)

17:19:43: WCCP-EVNT:wccp_update_assignment_status: enter
17:19:43: WCCP-EVNT:wccp_update_assignment_status: exit
17:19:43: WCCP-EVNT:S00: Here_I_Am packet from 142.46.145.4 w/bad fwd method 00000001, was offered 00000002
17:19:43: WCCP-EVNT:S00: Here_I_Am packet from 142.46.145.4 with incompatible capabilites

Questions

1. i was wondering if there has been anywork done to support wccpv2+Layer 2 (instead of GRE)

2. what is causing the cisco (in wccpv1) to only redirect traffic when destined to itself.

anyhelp would be much appreciated.

thank you,

John
