F5 Networks 301b Exam - Topic 2 Question 133 Discussion

Question

A virtual server for a set of web services is constructed on an LTM device. The LTM Specialist has created an iRule and applied this iRule to the virtual server:

when HTTP_REQUEST {

switch [HTTP::uri] {

"/WS1/ws.jsp" {

log local0. "[HTTP::uri]-Redirected to JSP Pool"

pool JSP

}

default { log local0. "[HTTP::uri]-Redirected to Non-JSP Pool"

pool NonJSP

}

However, the iRule is NOT behaving as expected. Below is a snapshot of the log:

/WS1/ws.jsp-Redirected to JSP Pool

/WS1/WS.jsp-Redirected to Non-JSP Pool

/ws1/WS.jsp-Redirected to Non-JSP Pool

/WS1/ws.jsp-Redirected to JSP Pool

/ws1/ws.jsp-Redirected to Non-JSP Pool

What is the problem?
