There are two possible methods to accomplish the redirection of traffic to Cisco WSA: transparent proxy mode and explicit proxy mode.
In a transparent proxy deployment, a WCCP v2-capable network device redirects all TCP traffic with a
destination of port 80 or 443 to Cisco WSA, without any configuration on the client. The transparent proxy
deployment is used in this design, and the Cisco ASA firewall is used to redirect traffic to the appliance because all of the outbound web traffic passes through the device and is generally managed by the same operations staff who manage Cisco WSA.
