Hello  

Below iRule should fulfil your requirement.

when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" }
{ 
HTTP::redirect https://abc.com/xyz
}
} 
 

Yes LTM policy will also solve your requirement. Attached snap shows the sample policy.

Hope it helps!

    Hi Mayur

    I already tried with the Ltm policy, but site (https://abc.com/xyz)is not coming with the policy, but redirection is happening there. and without policy if I browse https://abc.com/xyz directly its coming.

    I will check the irule, and let you know.

     

    Many thanks for your valuable suggestion.

      Be careful with this code since any HTTP path would be redirected to /xyz/ , also the opening " { " bracket at line 3 needs to be moved in line 2 for proper syntax.

       

      If you need to match only "/" path use the following code instead.

      This will append /xyz/ without issuing a redirect -- based on your previous comment, I'm assuming the /xyz/ path is hosted within the same pool you use for load balancing ; a redirect will be required if this is not the case

      when HTTP_REQUEST {
   if {[HTTP::host] eq "abc.com" && [HTTP::path] eq "/"}{ HTTP::uri "/xyz/" }  
}
