LTM Policy usecase Scenario

Hello Connection !!

🤖 Problem Statement :

The application team is requesting me to perform a redirection method for a specific condition to be matched with a URL link, and I'm not sure how to do it in F5.

💎Solution :

Simple, this can be accomplished through the use of policy or the i-rule method.

Example - https://lnkd.in/gEXwhUD5

Accountopening -> Word should match and Redirect to testweb-4354 backend pool members in F5

F5 Standard VS configuration:

ltm virtual CUNAME-test.goog.com-443 {
destination 10.X.X.X%1:https
ip-protocol tcp
mask 255.255.255.255
partition Public
persist {
    /Common/cookie {
      default yes
    }
  }
  policies {
    CUNAME-PROD.test.goog.com_NewAccountOpening { }
  }
  profiles {
    /Common/STAR.goog.com {
      context clientside
    }
    /Common/http-**bleep**-HTTPS { }
    /Common/tcp { }
    PUBLIC-Analytic { }
    TCP-Public { }
  }
  serverssl-use-sni disabled
