Creating Domain and URL Switching Rules

To simplify the creation of pattern rules, you can use wildcard combinations. The
allowable wildcards are described in Table 7-1.
Table 7-1: Wildcard Combinations
Wildcard Example
/exact-match/ /authors/
/end-wild/* /authors/*/
/middle/*/wildcard/ /authors/*/cookbooks/
/*.extension /*.gif/
/entry.* /index.*/
Every layer 7 rule needs a default domain, which can contain only a default
pattern-rule. This rule is used to decide where to forward traffic in the event that none
of the configured rules match.
You can use a wildcard for the domain when the format of the domain is unknown or
unimportant. For example, the following configuration is for HTTP services with an
unknown domain format:
config service vip 10.65.101.20 port 80 protocol tcp l7 class http
config domain name *
config pattern-rule default server-group-name sg2
