    A vip created in F5 device which will redirect the traffic hitting the VIP. Irule will be added. Eg: we might have seen many banking sites redirecting from HTTP to HTTPS

Hello,

 

This is when you create a Virtual Server and assign an irule to redirect the traffic to another fqdn or scheme.

 

For example, you go through http://test.mydomain.com and you get a 302 Response including an Location HTTP header with https://test.mydomain.com

 

You are then redirected to https://test.mydomain.com

 

You can use the same technique to redirect :

 

http -> https

 

https -> http

 

my.hostname.com -> my2.hostname.com

 

/myuri -> /myuri2
