CirrostratusCan iRule forward request to pool after ASM block without ASM:unblock ?
Hello expert,
I have written an iRule that when blocked forwards to other pools without any problems.
It is done !
when ASM_REQUEST_DONE {
if { [ASM::status] equals "blocked" } {
ASM::unblock
HTTP::uri "/"
pool pool_blockpage
}
}
I'm asking if there is a way to have blocked traffic directed to another pool without unblocking it ?
Any help is appreciate.
Hi,
As per the traffic flow design, this would not be possible. You can consider that the request goes through LTM (the VS), then ASM (the security policy), then LTM if not blocked for further processing including sending to the pool member.
So in your scenario the request won't be handed from ASM back to LTM since it will be blocked without further processing.
