NimbostratusDifferent Applications Sharing IP address and Port in a same server
Hello, I have the following scenario, I have two applications running into a server where they share IP address and port, they are differentiated by the URL only, for example Application 1 URL is : and Application 2 URL is: . The first question is how do I handle this in order to send the traffic of both applications correctly? I know there is a way with traffic policies but is not clear for me, since there will be only one virtual server created for both applications. The second question is how I can apply different security policies since there is ASM module also needed to be installed?
Hello,
For the good news, there's nothing complex here, just look into Local Traffic Policy feature. Both requirements can be fulfilled. Since your web-server already can distinguish between two different apps due to its own Web Server listener configuration, your BigIP configuration can be done with a single LTM pool.
Test in your lab or staging environment the following:
1 Virtual Server/1 Local Traffic Policy/1 LTM Pool/2 ASM policies
Local Traffic Policy Logic:
- Default Rule and Action - Select
ASMpolicy1 - Conditional Rule and Action - If HTTP path starts with
, select/app2ASMpolicy2
LTM Pool:
- LTM Pool is just mapped as Default Pool in Virtual Server configuration
Regards,
- Default Rule and Action - Select
