Hi, I have on Virtual Server which uses by default a POOL-A.

I need to forward to another POOL-B if :

-> RemoteIp is known in a adress datagroup, ie. datagroup_ips

-> Path contains a pattern, ie. test

The problem is that the RemoteIp (known in the datagroup_ips) is not detected during CLIENT_ACCEPTED event with matchclass tool.

The RemoteIp logged is SrcIp=(192.168.84.26%2), with partition subinfo and the adress datagroup seems to be good :

Extract from bigip.conf (set by GUI):

class datagroup_ips { host 192.168.84.26%2 }

I think I have a problem with partition subinfo matchclass comparaison beacause when I replace the adress datagroup by a string datagroup with the string "192.168.84.26%2", it works well !

Question : How to use adress datagroup ? for moment i don't have subnet or mask to use but I think it could early be necessary.

Thanks in advance,

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

log "SrcIp=([IP::client_addr])"

Check if the client IP is in the datagroup_ips datagroup

if { [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals $::datagroup_ips ] } {

Select poolA and track that we've selected a pool

log "SrcIp=([IP::client_addr]) forwarded to pool POOL-B" pool POOL-B set pool_selected 1

} else {

Continue checking the URI to select a pool

log "SrcIp=([IP::client_addr]) (default) forwarded to pool POOL-A" set pool_selected 0 }

}

when HTTP_REQUEST {

log "Path=([HTTP::path])"

Check if the pool has already been selected

if {$pool_selected}{

Exit this event in this rule return

} else {

Check the requested path

switch -glob [HTTP::path] {

"*test*" {

log "Path=([HTTP::path]) forwarded to pool POOL-B" pool POOL-B

}

default {

log "Path=([HTTP::path]) (default) forwarded to pool POOL-A" pool POOL-A

}
