Routing policy HTTP rules

Use this page to associate routing policy HTTP rules with on demand routers (ODRs) and ODR clusters.

To view this administrative console page for ODRs, click Servers > Server types > On demand routers > ODR > On demand router properties > Routing policy HTTP rules.

To view this administrative console page for ODR clusters, click Servers > Clusters > On demand router clusters > ODR cluster > On demand router properties > Routing policy HTTP rules.

To modify rules with the rule builder, you must have administrator or configurator administrative privileges.

Add

Builds a new rule.

Delete

Deletes a rule.

Move up, Move down

Prioritizes the rules in the case of multiple rules. The order of rules is key in determining matches. If a match occurs on the first rule, subsequent rules are not pursued.

Actions refer to the incoming HTTP request.

Assigns the default routing action to one of the following options:

Permit routing to: Permits routing to the incoming HTTP request.
Reject routing with error code: Rejects any incoming HTTP request with the specified error code.
Permit routing with affinity to: Permits routing with affinity to the incoming HTTP request.
Permit routing to servers in maintenance mode: Routes the request to the servers without any disruption.
Permit routing with affinity to servers in maintenance mode: Permits routing with affinity without any disruption.
Redirect routing to: Redirects the request to the specified URL.
Route to local resource: Routes the request to the local file system of the ODR from which static content is served.

Specify by

Specifies cluster, server, module.

Select cell name

Specifies cell.

Multi-cluster routing policy

The multi-cluster routing policy field is displayed when you select any of the permit actions. Also, the field only applies if there are multiple target clusters. If the target clusters are dynamically computed, the number and order of target clusters is not known until runtime.

Assigns the mult-cluster routing policy to one of the following options:

Failover: Find the first cluster with an available server and load balance across that cluster. The order of a dynamically generated list of clusters is undefined.
Weighted round robin: Weighted round robin load balance. For UDP retransmission, maintain affinity.
Weighted least outstanding request: Weighted least outstanding request load balance. For UDP retransmission, maintain affinity.

Redirect URL

This field is displayed when you select the redirect action. With this routing policy, the ODR redirects the request to the specified URL.

Reject code

This field is displayed when you select the reject action. This routing policy causes the ODR to reject the request, and return the specified HTTP error code.

Local resource path

This field is displayed when you select the local resource action. With this routing policy, the request is routed to the local file system of the ODR from which static content is served.
