choosing persistence method

hi

 

 

i'm hoping someone can help me with this irule...

 

 

i have a virtual server which requires 2 different types of persistence depending on where the user is coming from. for example, if the user is on the 192.168.0.0/24 network they need to use cookie persistence, but everyone else should use source address affinity

 

 

it sounds pretty simple, but any advice would be appreciated

 

 

thanks

    Hi Skuba,

    You can use the persist command (Click here) to specify a persistence method from an iRule: 

     
 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
  
     Check the client IP 
    if {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 192.168.0.0/16]}{ 
  
        Use session cookie persistence 
       persist cookie insert "my_persist_cookie" 0 
    } else { 
        Use source address persistence with a /24 mask and 1 hour timeout 
       persist source_addr mask 255.255.255.0 3600 
    } 
 }
