Why each option
To redirect TCP traffic using WCCP, Cisco WSA must be configured in transparent proxy mode, as this mode allows network devices to intercept and forward traffic without client awareness.
Transparent mode on Cisco WSA is specifically designed to integrate with WCCP, enabling network devices to transparently redirect TCP traffic (such as HTTP/HTTPS) to the appliance without requiring any proxy settings on client browsers.
"Redirection" describes the action of WCCP but is not a specific proxy mode on the Cisco WSA appliance itself.
Forward (or explicit) proxy mode requires client browsers to be explicitly configured to send traffic to the WSA, which bypasses the transparent traffic redirection mechanism of WCCP.
"Proxy gateway" is a general term for a proxy server and does not represent a specific, configurable proxy mode within the Cisco WSA operating system.
