Configuring Rule-Based Redirection

Deciding how to configure HTTP Redirection depends on the type of traffic you are allowing and the default Access Control value you configure on the role. You must configure the policy rules in the following order:

• Allow policies
• Redirect policies (if using Rule-based Redirection)
• Deny policies.

You can configure five Allow policies or any combination of Allow and Deny policies on a single role. The following are ways to implement policy rules:

• Allow All Policy.

  If you opt to allow all traffic. You only need one policy rule indicating that all traffic is allowed.

  

  Allow All Policy Configuration

  
• Combination of Allow and Deny policies, allowing specific traffic.
  

  Policy Rules Configuration

  
• Deny All Policy.

  When opting to deny all traffic, you must first configure the 5 Allow policies to gather the parameters that direct the client to the FFECP. First configure the specific Allow policies, then configure the Deny All policy.

  

  Deny All Policy Configuration

  
• Redirect Policy
  • If Rule-based Redirection is enabled, configure at least one policy rule where the Access Control is set to HTTP Redirect.
  • If Rule-based Redirection is disabled, configure at least one policy rule where the Access Control is set to Deny.
