Configuring the Transport-opt Service Engine on a WAN Interface

In a point-to-point WAN interface configuration, the Network Capacity Expansion identifier (tpo ID) that is specified on the CLI is used for all destination hardware.

In a multipoint WAN interface configuration, the bind command on Network Capacity Expansion Service Module determines which tpo ID is used for a given destination network.

There are two ways of redirecting TCP packets to the NCE application:

1. Inline interception - recommended at the branch office.

2. WCCP-based redirection - Configuring TCP Redirection Using WCCP, page 6-1.

 
Command or Action
Purpose
 
From the Host-Router CLI

Step 1 

enable

Example:

Router> enable

Enters privileged EXEC mode on the host router. Enter your password if prompted.

Step 2 

configure terminal

Example:

Router# configure terminal

Enters global configuration mode on the host router.

Step 3 

Interface serial slot / module / port

Example:

Router(config)# Int serial 0/0/0

Enters the serial interface mode (WAN interface) Serial, ATM, Frame-relay, GE/FE WAN interfaces, and GRE-tunnel interfaces are supported.

Step 4 

Transport-opt transport-opt id / multipoint interface transport-opt-Service-Engine slot/port

Example:

Router(config-if)# Transport-opt {transport-opt id / multipoint} interface transport-opt-Service-Engine 4/0

Configures TCP redirection on the WAN interface. Traffic is redirected to the service module and is optimized and sent out on the WAN interface. The multipoint keyword is currently supported only on GE/FE interfaces. When the multipoint keyword is selected, the tpo ID is not required to be configured in the Cisco IOS command.

Example:
interface GigabitEthernet0/3/0
ip address 10.10.10.11 255.255.0.0
load-interval 30
negotiation auto
transport-opt 1 interface Transport-Opt-Service-Engine4/0
end

To verify that redirection is occurring on the WAN interface, check that there are adjacencies created for the main NCE Service Module interface and for every tpo ID defined on the WAN interface.
