Persistance Rule Based on Custom Cookie

In the Cookie persistance (I am used to insert) I need to do a persistance based on an existing (named ClientID) cookie the client will send. I see passive modes if they put in a cookie Named BigIPServer cookie that is formatted correctly, and I also see a rewrite method that if they have the name write and all zero payload. But then I also see Cookie Hash Value which seems like what I want. Can anyone help me know if this is what I am looking for any any hints how to set it up? thanks in advance

    Cookie hash is want you need. Just create a new cookie persistency profile, based on cookie hash. Within the profile define the name of the cookie. Assign the persitency profile to a VS. That should do it.

    just wondering why we won't use universal persistence.

    It seems the universal one would also work is there any advantage or disadvantage over the previous answer as it would also work. thanks!
