irule uri traffic redirection failing

Hello team,

I have to implement an irule to redirect traffic based on URL.

So i made following code:

when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/specialurl" } {
snatpool /NAT_Outside
pool /Apps_pool  
log local0. "[IP::client_addr] Ingreso a [HTTP::uri]" } }

The irule works fine, but the owner of the application says that when the app (programed in ajax) call's another uri of the website, the service get stucked in the pool "/App_pool".

I tried with ltm policy and have same behavior.

Any one had have any similar case?

application delivery
event
irule
LTM
uri
url

    mplaksin0First I would create a /32 netmask OneConnect profile and associate it with the virtual server in question. After you have done that use the following iRule configuration replacing whatever you might want to match in the if statement but leave everything else and that should solve your issue.

     

     

    when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {

    set DEFAULT_POOL [LB::server pool]

}

when HTTP_REQUEST {

    if { [HTTP::uri] starts_with "/specialurl" } {
        snatpool NAT_Outside
        pool Apps_pool  
        log local0. "[IP::client_addr] Ingreso a [HTTP::uri]"
    } else {
        pool $DEFAULT_POOL
    }

}

      I did a similar configuration, and it is true it works correctly. In the VS use as default pool App_Pool. In the Irule, indicate that if it "does not contain" /app_pool, redirect to the default pool and it started to work.

    Is the app using BIG-IP as its default gw?

     

    Can you paste a tmsh list of the VIP?

    What is the default pool? Isn't it "App_pool"?

    Where are other uri's configured to go?
    Probablly the config of the VIP will help us figure it out.

      The default pool isn't App_pool.

      The gateway of VM of default pool its this bipip and App_Pool its the ip of virtual-server of other bigip that its in other point of the network (we reach it via routing).

      I attach the list.

      I tried a policy that says "if the uri contains /specialurl foward traffic to pool App_Pool" and same behavior.

      Maybe i can try to set default pool as App_Pool and use a policy with "not contains /specialurl foward traffic to pool GOL (default)

    for  /specialur  :    BGIPip1 (VIP, pool: Apps_pool) -> BIGip2 (VIP:GOL)
