Just to clarify, you are looking for a maintenance page? When you say 'banner', it makes me think that you want to inject javascript or somerthing and put a banner atop the normally loaded page that provides an alert. That would be a separate and more difficult requirement of course. Simple maintenace page is no issues, and you can even store the HTML page, JS, and any images on the F5 itself using iFiles. Just some further thoughts here.

Hi Whisperer,

Thanks for response.

I am putting maintenance page. I tried to put simple html page or message. Also tried to put html page via ifile (HTTP::respond 200 content [ifile get "maintenance_Page"] even it is not working for me.

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

if { ([HTTP::uri] starts_with "/example") 

HTTP::respond 200 content {
<html>
<head>
<title>Apology Page</title>
</head>
<body>
