Excluding Noncacheable Sites
Some Web sites provide content that is not well suited for redirection to cache servers. Such
sites might provide browser-based games or applications that keep real-time session informa-
tion or authenticate by client IP address.
To prevent such sites from being redirected to cache servers, create a filter which allows this
specific traffic to pass normally through the Web switch. This filter must have a higher prece-
dence (a lower filter number) than the application redirection filter.
For example, if you wished to prevent a popular Web-based game site on subnet 200.10.10.*
from being redirected, you could add the following to the previous example configuration:
>> # /cfg/slb/filt 1
(Select the menu for filter 1)
>> Filter 1# dip 200.10.10.0
(To the site’s destination IP address)
>> Filter 1# dmask 255.255.255.0
(For entire subnet range)
>> Filter 1# sip any
(From any source IP address)
>> Filter 1# proto tcp
(For TCP traffic)
>> Filter 1# dport http
(To an HTTP destination port)
>> Filter 1# sport any
(From any source port)
>> Filter 1# action allow
(Allow matching traffic to pass)
>> Filter 1# ena
(Enable the filter)
>> Filter 1# ../port 5
(Select SLB port 5)
>> SLB port 5# add 1
(Add the filter to port 5)
>> SLB port 5# ../port 6
(Select SLB port 6)
>> SLB port 6# add 1
(Add the filter to port 6)
>> SLB port 6# apply
(Apply configuration changes)
>> SLB port 6# save
(Save configuration changes)
