Can you please provide your iRule.

 

You can apply both irule and default pool to virtual server or just iRule.

 

iRule will have high priority over default pool.

 

1st step is traffic flow according to the iRule and any traffic not matching iRule then it will go to default pool.

 

hope this helps.

If monitor is not assigned to the pool, virtual server will go to unkown status.

 

A virtual server with an Unknown status will take in traffic and send it on to the resources even if they are not online.

 

In your case you are sending traffic from 10.10.1.1 to pool X, if it not mathcing IP then it will go to PoolY. But configure your iRule as mentioned below and configure default pool to none under resource section. Hope this helps.

 

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr]/24 equals 10.10.1.1] } {

 

pool Pool_X

 

} else {

 

pool default_pool

 

}
