VS Precedence

Hi Lee, When a listener lookup occurs, the precedence linked above matches as expected for all matching traffic types. For example, consider the following three virtuals:

1. 10.10.10.0:0/25 *All Protocols
2. 10.10.10.0:0/25 *UDP
3. 10.10.10.0:0/24 *TCP

If you send an http request to 10.10.10.40, the vip 1 will receive the traffic. If you send an http request to 10.10.10.140, vip 3 will receive the traffic. If you delete vip 1 and retry an http request to 10.10.10.40, it will bypass vip 2 because of a protocol mismatch and match vip 3.

So to answer your question, yes, the precedence matters first, but only when the virtual is capable of handling that traffic. A UDP virtual, even with a longer match, isn't capable of handling TCP traffic, so it doesn't apply.
