Hi,

 

I have a VIP holding multiple website and uri/. i dont find in APM visual policy editor or LTM how to assign a specific APM policy Ex: on the same VIP 1.1.1.1 => APM policy 1 => APM policy 2 => APM policy 3

 

Any ideas?

    Hi Slvere,

    Any ideas?

    You can't switch APM policies on a Virtual Server based on the requested HOST-Header.

    You would need to deploy a VIP-targeting-VIP setup to become able to inspect the HOST-header on an external VS and then selectively forward the traffic to multiple internal VS's based on the requested HOST-headers. Each of the internal VS's may then have a dedicated APM Policy...

    www.site-a.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.1.1.1 -> APM Policy A
www.site-b.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.2.2.2 -> APM Policy B
www.site-c.com -> VIP 1.1.1.1 -> VIP 127.3.3.3 -> APM Policy C

    For a brief explanation of VIP-targeting-VIP setups you may check out...
