How do I set up Riverbed Steal head on the "inside" of a Cisco 3560 switch that is acting as a router/switch

Normal Riverbed Steal head is connected inline between the routers ethernet interface and the switch that the router would connect to to distribute data packets.  However, I need to connect a Riverbed Stealhead to a Cisco 3560 L3 switch that has one of it's ports connected to a MetroE connection for internet/server farm access.  

What is the best way to redirect traffic from the inbound MetroE connection to all devices connected to this switch (client computers, viop phones, etc).  We to have a host of vlans as well for viop, wireless, data.

Use the Riverbed out of path configuraton detailed here

WCCP is also an option for your deployment with a 3560 as long as you are running 12.2(37)SE or greater.

for WCCP.  what would be a basic configuration example.

JFrederick29,

for the remote site, can I just do a 0.0.0.0 (for remote network address) 0.0.0.0 (for remote subnet). or do I have to add all the subnets from remote site.
the previous question is regarding the permit ip statements within the access list.
I just threw that out there if you wanted to specifically define traffic, i.e. if you don't want the Riverbed to see Internet traffic or traffic that doesn't need to be optimized, etc...

You can simply use "ip wccp 70" without the access-list so all traffic is redirected to the Riverbed.

so basically all I would be doing is this:

ip wccp 70

int vlan1
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan10
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan22
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan100
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan101
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan102
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan103
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan104
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan105
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan107
ip wccp 70 redirect in

int vlan200
ip wccp 70 redirect in

so how does this apply to the port on the switch that is being used by Riverbed appliance?  also do I plug in the two ports that normally would go in line, the lan and wan ports? or can I just get by with one or the other?
You would only be using one port on the Riverbed if doing WCCP.  The appliance port simply needs to be reachable via layer2 to the 3560 so it can simply reside in a VLAN.  I would create a new VLAN/Subnet for it as it can't be in a VLAN doing redirection.  But again, the Riverbed itself needs WCCP configuration as well.
Did you get this working or are you still having issues?
