Redirection VIP

What is dedicated redirection VIP? How traffic flow happens.

 

  • 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
