F5-LTM load balancing question

Does anyone know what would be the equivalent of Cisco CSS Content Rule below in F5-LTM? The content rule will only kick-in if the url "/path/sample/" exist and therefore load balance to the backend ...

you can do it on different ways. 1. with irule

if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/path/sample/" } {
     send to pool
    pool pool1
} elseif { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/path/sample2/" } {
     send to pool2
    pool pool2
} else {
    pool poolx
}

  1. with classes / policies - here you only have to set the URI path list and as action you have to select the pool in the class.

    class1 --> uri /path/sample/* --> action: send to pool pool1

    class2 --> uri /path/sample2/* --> action: send to pool pool2

    all other traffic:

    class3 --> action: send to pool poolx

    or use the default pool at virtual server --> you don't need class3

if you are running >= 11.4, you have to set policies instead of classes
