Filter Source IP

Hi Valentine,

Sure you can do this. For a single IP or network range, you could use the IP::addr command to check the client IP. For multiple comparisons, you can use a datagroup and the class match command (v10+) or the matchclass command (v9).

Here's an example for v10+:

 Datagroup containing the hosts/networks you want to pin to a pool member
class ip_subnets_class {
   {
      host 1.1.1.1
      network 2.2.2.0/24
   }
}

And the iRule which selects a specific pool member based on the client being in the datagroup:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    Check if the client IP is in the ip_subnets_class
   if {[class match [IP::client_addr] equals ip_subnets_class]}{

       Select a specific pool member from the VS default pool for members of the datagroup 
      pool [LB::server pool] member 10.1.1.1 80

   } else {

       Select the VS default pool
      pool [LB::server pool] 
   }
}
