There's two boxes in the iRules screen on the virtual, the left is "Enabled" -- these are actually configured on the virtual server. The right side is "Available" -- these are what are on the device and can be moved over to "Enabled."

 

You can reuse iRules on as many virtual servers as you want as long as they're written generically, such as an http to https redirect that uses the host header instead of hard coding the host into the redirect.

Thanks Dave, I quickly called an API "Get-iRules.ps1" and it listed me too many iRules. Further more i tried calling another API "Invoke-AddIRuleToVirtualServer.ps1" it showed me warning "same iRule already available." So does that mean Irule is already applied ? And to remove i need to call "Invoke-RemoveiRuleToVirtualServer" which will remove it from server not from device. So i can add the same back to virtul server again.Is my understanding correct.

 

Sorry for my silly question, as i completely new to this and not sure how this are interconnected.

 

Thanks Again for your quick response.
