Bias-Free Language

The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

What WCCP service IDs should be used on Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA)?

Environment:

  • Cisco Web Security Appliance (WSA)
  • WCCP

Symptoms: WCCP shows as Usable, but no traffic is being redirected to the WSA.

Certain WCCP Service IDs are reserved for specific purposes. Even though the WSA will allow you to use any Service ID from 0 - 255, the Cisco router / WCCP device may not redirect traffic depending on the Service ID in use.

Here is an unofficial list regarding predefined Service IDs.

 Service name   ID#   Protocol   Ports 
 web-cache  0   tcp   80
 dns  53  udp  53
 ftp-native  60  tcp  21, suggested range for PASV ports : 11001-11006
 tcp-promiscuous   61  tcp  *
 tcp-promiscuous  62  tcp  *
 https-cache  70  tcp  443
 rtsp  80  tcp  554
 wmt  81  tcp  1755
 mmsu  82  udp  1755
 rtspu  83  udp  5005
 cifs-cache  89  tcp  137, 445 
 custom  90    
 custom  91    
 custom  92    
 custom  93    
 custom  94    
 custom  95    
 custom  96    
 custom  97    
 custom-web-cache   98  tcp  80
 reverse-proxy  99  tcp  80

NOTE: It is recommended that you choose a Service ID from 90 to 97. These are custom service IDs and should not interfere with other service IDs which are typically used for specific protocols.
