Altocumulushttp traffic shift to a VIP in another LTM
Hi
I am a newbie in irule development.
Despite that I have to deploy an irule that redirects http traffic to a vs placed in another LTM device.
SetUp details:
Clients reach www.mypage.com at vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd_80 configured in system LTM-A, a BIG-IP appliance.
vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd_80 includes fancy irules to modify GET statement and redirect the request to appopiate pool.
This works perfect.
But a new BIG-IP gear (LTM-B) has been placed which will handle www.mypage.com requests in the future.
In LTM-B, vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx_80 (same subnet as previous one) will handle the requests.
Customer migration from legacy virtual server to new virtual server will be based on client source address for several reasons.
How would an irule at LTM-A look like so that whenever a connection from a migrated customer reaches vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd_80
the request is redirected to vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx_80 at LTM-B?
I have tryied the following:
1st step: Created a new datagroup customer_migrated type subnet.
2nd step: Create migration_irule:
when HTTP_REQUEST {
if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals customer_migrated ]}{
HTTP::redirect "http://aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx [HTTP::uri]"
log local0. "client [IP::client_addr] successfully mgrated to [HTTP::uri] "
event disable
} else {
pool pool_aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd_80
log local0. "cliente [IP::client_addr] NO migrado "
}
}
But I does not work:
The If clause works fine, filtering out migrated customers or leaving them untouched.
The problem is that no traffic hits the VIP at the new appliance vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx_80
Thanks for helping...
Hi,
If I understand right both VIP uses same host name so you can try like that
Create pool on LTM-A like LTM_B_VIP and set node IP with VIP of vs_aaa.bbb.ccc.xxx_80
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set def_pool [LB::server pool]
if { [class match [IP::remote_addr] equals customer_migrated] } {
pool LTM_B_VIP
} else {
pool $def_pool
}
}
