Pool port redirection

Currently we have an iRule that is receiving traffic on port 80 when http is hit we are to redirect to pool .

 

 

The Log file shows the traffic making it into the LTM << Sep 22 08:34:57 local/tmm3 info tmm3[6060]: Rule MMS_iRule : 10.201.61.129 sent request for xml file to pool_8080>>

 

 

 

 

But tcpdump nevers shows the traffic going out on to my members on this port.

 

 

 

does anyone have any suggestions?

 

 

 

irule snippet:

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ends_with ".xml"}{

 

log local0. "[IP::remote_addr] sent request for xml file to Pool_8080"

 

pool Pool_8080

 

}

 

if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ends_with ".rdf"}{

 

pool Pool_8080

 

}

    What is your tcpdump syntax? Can you validate that the traffic is being load balanced via the server?

    This might work a little bit better for you. 

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] ends_with ".xml" } {
       log local0. "[IP::remote_addr] sent request for xml file to Pool_8080"
               log local0. "[HTTP::uri] was presented to the VIP
           pool Pool_8080
  } elseif { [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] ends_with ".rdf" } {
       pool Pool_8080
 }
}

    Hi kona2-9,

    If you are wanting to verify that the LTM is sending the traffic do then you can slightly modify your logging statement adding in the destination server port. 

    
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ends_with ".xml" } {
log local0. "[IP::remote_addr]:[TCP::server_port] sent request for xml file to Pool_8080"
pool Pool_8080
}
if { [string tolower [HTTP::path]] ends_with ".rdf" } {
pool Pool_8080
}
}
