Reg VIP Forwarding using iRule.

Hi,

 

When we forward the request from a VIP that is listening on port 443 to a new VIP which is also listening on port 443 then :--

 

1. SSL Handshake negotiation happens with the 1st VIP and also with the 2nd VIP.

 

2.SSL Handshake negotiation only happens with the 2nd VIP

 

===================

when HTTP_REQUEST priority 400 {

 

if { [HTTP::host] equals "abc.com" } {

   log local0. "Logging for abc.com-443 forwarding to the new IP 192.168.20.20"

   virtual "/External/xyz.com--443"

}

 

}

===================

 

Thanks,

Yugandhar.

      Thank you Boneyard.

       

      In my case SSL client profile is on both VIPs.

       

      Could you please tell me the message that the client web browser receives from the F5 (1st VIP) after the irule statement   virtual "/External/xyz.com--443" is executed ?

       

      Would like to know whether client receives a HTTP 302 ( redirect message ) or something else.

       

       

      Thanks,

      Yugandhar.

        Hi Stanislan,

         

        In this case SSL client profile would be applied to both VIPs.

         

        Could you also please tell me the message that the client web browser receives from the F5 (1st VIP) after the irule statement   virtual "/External/xyz.com--443" is executed ?

         

        Would like to know whether client receives a HTTP 302 ( redirect message ) or something else.
