Implementing TWCB

Implementing TWCB requires a routed network with IP interfaces that allow the S-Series router to send requests for the internet to the correct web caching device.

There are five aspects to TWCB configuration:

  • Create the server farms that will cache the web objects and populate them with cache servers.
  • Optionally associate heavy web-users with a round-robin list which caches those users‘ web objects across all servers associated with the configured server farm.
  • Optionally specify the hosts whose HTTP requests will or will not be redirected to the cache servers.
  • Create a TWCB web cache that the server farms will be associated with.
  • Optionally configure TWCB source and destination NAT providing a public facing IP address for clients owned by the TWCB router.
  • Apply the TWCB web cache to an outbound interface (which can include VLAN, L3 tunnel, and L2 tunnel) to redirect HTTP traffic on that interface to the cache servers.
