    L7 Policies are crucial components that control and route traffic to backend servers. L7 Policies consist of multiple L7 Rules combined together to act as a Layer 7 routing policy for HTTP/HTTPS requests based on specified rules. A L7 Policy includes two main components:

    • Condition: Criteria to inspect incoming requests.
    • Action: When requests match the specified conditions, the corresponding action is executed to route the request accordingly.

    1. Create L7 Policy

    Step 1: On the Listener list screen, select the Listener you want to configure.

    Step 2: Select the L7 Policy tab, then click Add Policy.

    Enter the following information for the new L7 Policy:

    • Policy name: Enter a name for the Policy.
    • Policy action: Choose one of the following: Reject, Redirect to URL, Redirect to pool.

    +Reject: If the request matches the condition, access to the backend is denied.

    +Redirect to URL: Enter the target URL to redirect requests that match the condition. The matched requests will be redirected to the specified URL or URL prefix with an HTTP response code. Valid values: 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308.

    +Redirect to pool: If the condition is matched, the request is routed to the selected pool. You must select a Pool from the list.

    • Position: Defines the priority of the policy. The smaller the position value, the higher the priority.

    Click the tick icon to create the L7 Rule, or the trash icon to delete an L7 Rule.

    2. Update L7 Policy

    On the L7 Policy list screen, click the edit icon to update a L7 Policy.

    You can update the following information:

    • Policy name
    • Policy action: Reject, Redirect to URL, Redirect to pool

    +Redirect to URL: Enter the URL you want to redirect the request to when the condition is met. The matched requests will be redirected with an HTTP response code. Valid values: 301, 302, 303, 307, or 308.

    +Redirect to pool: When matched, the request is routed to the selected pool.

    +Redirected HTTP code: Applies when the action is Redirect to URL.

    • Position

    Click the tick icon to save changes to the L7 Policy.

    After updating the L7 Policy, you can add L7 Rules as follows:

    Step 1: Click on the policy to which you want to add rules.

    Step 2: Click Add L7 Rule to add rules to the selected policy.

    Fill in the following details:

    • Type:

    +Host name: Compares the value to the HTTP/1.1 hostname in the request.

    +Path: Compares the value to a part of the HTTP URI.

    +File: Compares the value to the last part of the URI (e.g., ".txt", ".jpg").

    +Header: Searches for the defined header key and compares its value to the input value.

    +Cookie: Searches for the defined cookie key and compares its value to the input value.

    • Compare type:

    +Regex: Matches the value using a regex expression.

    +Equal to: Checks whether the extracted field exactly matches the given string.

    +Starts with: Checks whether the field starts with the given string.

    +Ends with: Checks whether the field ends with the given string.

    +Contains: Checks whether the field contains the given string.

    • Key: For Header or Cookie types, specify the key to determine which field is used for comparison.

    • Value: The value to be compared.

    • Invert: Yes/No (For example, if set to 1, the result of this L7 Rule is true when the condition does not match).

    Click the tick icon to create the L7 Rule, or the trash icon to delete it.

    To edit an L7 Rule, click the edit icon on the existing rule to modify it.
