iRule redirect based on client IP address

Please try this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.1] ) or ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.2] ) } {
        HTTP::redirect "http://10.200.200.200"
    }
}

You could also source the IP information from an address-based data group and make your iRule much simpler:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals my_ip_dg] } {
        HTTP::redirect "http://10.200.200.200"
    }
}

where "my_ip_dg" is an address-based data group that can hold various IPs and IP subnets.

I created the iRule (using first method above) applied it to the existing vip but it doesn't seem to be working as expected. Any suggestion on what to try next?

It's probably worth some debug logging:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
    log local0. "Client: [IP::client_addr]"
    if { ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.1] ) or ( [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.1.1.2] ) } {
        log local0. "Redirecting"
        HTTP::redirect "http://10.200.200.200"
    } else {
        log local0. "Not redirecting"
    }
}

You can tail the LTM log from the management shell:

tail -f /var/log/ltm

Or watch it from the Logs section of the management GUI. I prefer the former.

Kevin,

Problem solved, the logging helped. I had to add a %1 after the IP, I think it has something to do with the way the partitions were set up.

Thanks again for the help!

how about when based on client's network address not with certain ip?
