This example creates a rule called r1 that matches if an incoming packet contains the PUT method.
Syntax: [no] csw-rule rule-name method eq method-string
The rule-name variable is the name of the rule and can be up to 80 characters in length.
The method-string variable can be GET, HEAD, POST, OPTIONS, PUT, DELETE, TRACE, PROPFIND,
MOVE, CONNECT, BDELETE, PROPPATCH, COPY, LOCK, UNLOCK, MKCOL, BCOPY, BMOVE, POLL,
SUBSCRIBE, SEARCH, BPROPPATCH, RPC_OUT_DATA, or RPC_IN_DATA.
Configuring an HTTP version rule
To set up an HTTP method rule that causes the Brocade Virtual ADX to make a load balancing
decision based on the HTTP version of an incoming packet, enter a command such as the
following.
Virtual ADX(config)#csw-rule r1 version eq 1.1
This example creates a rule called r1 that matches if an incoming packet uses HTTP version 1.1.
Syntax: [no] csw-rule rule-name version eq http-version
The rule-name variable is the name of the rule and can be up to 80 characters in length.
The http-version variable can be 0.9, 1.0, or 1.1.
URL rules
URL rules cause the Brocade Virtual ADX to make a load-balancing decision based on the contents
of the URL string in an incoming packet.
Table 23 lists the URL rules available for Layer 7 content switching.
