[root@ve11a:Active:Changes Pending] config  tmsh list ltm virtual bar
ltm virtual bar {
    destination 172.28.20.111:80
    ip-protocol tcp
    mask 255.255.255.255
    profiles {
        http { }
        tcp { }
    }
    rules {
        myrule
    }
    source 0.0.0.0/0
    source-address-translation {
        type automap
    }
    vs-index 28
}
[root@ve11a:Active:Changes Pending] config  tmsh list ltm rule myrule
ltm rule myrule {
    when HTTP_REQUEST {
  HTTP::redirect "https://[string map {"www." ""} [HTTP::host]][HTTP::uri]"
}
}
