patelrasesh Network Design, Routing, WAN Optimization ,

Things to keep in mind when designing Intelligent WAN (IWAN) to use MACH5(WAN optimizer) – Blue Coat instead of Cisco WAAS for IWAN deployment.

MACH5 configuration

  • Configure MACH5 for transparent tunneling.
  • Routing preference should be set to prefer transparent connections over advertised routers.
  • Enable return to sender (RTS) for Inbound and Outbound requests. Inbound RTS is enabled by default, but you must enable RTS for Outbound. “return-to-sender outbound enable”.

Cisco Router configuration

  • Configure WCCP IN/OUT on DMVP tunnel interface.
