Access restriction to a single virtual server for a specific IP address

We have many virtual servers running behind our load balancer

 

 

You mean :

 

We have many virtual servers running on our load balancer

 

 

If so then:

 

 

an iRule is applied to a virtual server has no effect on other virtual servers.

You could either use a packet filter specifying the one source IP and VS destination or an iRule such as this, which you would apply only to the VS in question;

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
 if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals x.x.x.x] } {
 drop
 return
}
}

Thank you so much Lies Beneath and Mohamed. My question is how to apply it to just one VS? in the configuration utility, Main< Local Traffic< Virtual Servers. Click on the Virtual server, under the resources tab, we find iRules and should I go through the manage option? Or, Main< Local Traffic

It's not clear what exactly is confusing you here.

 

 

You can only apply an irule to one virtual server at a time. You cannot apply an iRule to many or to all, virtual servers at once.

 

 

Yes, My question is how to add it to one Virtual server. Because I just created the rule, by Main< Local Traffic< iRule and create option. I gave the name for the rule and the decription as

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
 if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals x.x.x.x] } {
 drop
 return
}
}

and It does not apply to the "xyz" Virtual server I want to apply it to. The iRule remains for the whole system.
