Redirecting request based on port number

1. The host is always the same.

 

 

I would then recommend not evaluating the [HTTP::host] value. It provides no value.

 

 

2. URI and port are specific. e.g. example.mtd.today.com:8088/tuesday does not change. Can it evaluate either port or both just in case I decide to redirect to another port or uri?

 

 

You'd need to modify the iRule switch conditions in either case. So if port 8088 always equals the "/tueday" URI, which equals the Stagin_Pool pool, then I'd recommend just evaluating the port OR the URI.

 

 

3. Do I need to use the quoten " " on switch before and after the parentesis ?

 

 

A switch conditional is generally a string comparison. I added the quotes in my last example because I needed to insert the colon ":" character in the evaluation string. If you're just evaluating the port or URI, the the following (without quotes in the switch) will work:

 

 

switch [TCP::local_port] {

 

...

 

}

 

or

 

switch [string tolower [HTTP::uri]] {

 

...

 

}
