NimbostratusSend traffic to destination pool based on source IP address
Associates,
I have a virtual server that is tied to a pool (WebServers) that has one "real" member. Then I have a second pool (Testweb) with a different "real" member.
I would like to direct traffic to the different pools based on source IP address when going to the webserver (just HTTP). One particular IP address goes to one pool and the rest of the Internet goes to another.
This is what I have come up with, but I dont have the ability to test it at the moment. Will someone evaluate it and correct it (if needed)? Thanks.
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if {[IP::client_addr] == "10.0.150.1" && [TCP::local_port] == 80} {
pool Testweb
}
else {
pool WebServers
}
}

Looks like it will work fine, but I think you will need to use "equals" rather than == and maybe "and" instead of && as well for it to compile (not 100% on that since I'm not on a live box at the moment either). But the logic is OK.

Kenny_Long_5159Thanks for the response. Because the Virtual Server I applied this to is only port 80 I dropped the && for port 80 from this iRule.
This is the code I used:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.0.150.1] }
{
pool Testweb
}
else {
pool WebServers
}
}
I applied this to the applicable Virtual Server under Resources. I tested this and it worked great.
pjain_72429How can this be implemented for
1) whole subnet e.g. 10.0.x.x
2) multiple subnet- Juha_Suominen_3
Im not an expert, but
1) I think you can specify both network and netmask. Eg. 10.10.0.0/255.255.0.0 in the example above.
2) Lots of if/elseif clauses or use datamaps to specify networks and loop trough it with matchclass
class subnets {
10.10.1.0/255.255.255.0
10.10.4.0/255.255.255.0
}
if { [matchclass [IP::client_addr] equals $::subnets] } ....
