NimbostratusWhich pool gets selected first?
I have an i-rule that does:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.10.10] } {
pool my_pool
}
else {
pool my_pool2
}
}
However, in my LTM config, I have a default pool selected. Which gets evaluated first? Obviously, by my i-rule, I don't need to select a default, but was curious to know if it slows anything down if I have a default selected.

The events of your rule take precedence over the VIP's pool configuration. There shouldn't be any noticeable difference in resources or latency between selecting a pool in your rule versus it going to the default pool on the VIP.
However, it is a good practice to explicity set the pool (as you have done) for every condition, if you're changing the pool for any condition. Clear as mud?
