Configuring filters for Web Cache Redirection

Two filters are required for Web Cache Redirection:

A filter to intercept all TCP traffic for the HTTP destination port and redirect it to the proper port in the real server group.
A default filter to allow the noncached traffic to proceed normally.

To configure a Web Cache Redirection filter:

Create a filter that will intercept all TCP traffic for the HTTP destination port and redirect it to the port in the real server group. See Creating a new filter. Set the parameters in the following table.


Filter field	Setting
Index	<Filter index number>
Name	Web Cache Redirection
Filter	Enabled
Action	Redirect
Client Proxy	Enabled or Disabled See Network address translation options.
Source IP Address	Any
Destination IP Address	Any
Protocol	TCP
Source Port	Any
Destination Port	<The HTTP destination port>
Redirection Port	<The HTTP redirection port number>
Redirection Group	<The Web Cache Redirection Real Server Group number>
URL Redirection	Enabled

If no client proxy is used, enable Direct Access Mode. See Configuring direct access mode.

Create a default filter to allow noncached traffic to proceed normally. See Configuring a default filter. Set the parameters in the following table.


Filter field	Setting
Index	<Filter index number>
Name	Default
Filter	Enabled
Action	Allow
Source IP Address	Any
Destination IP Address	Any
Protocol	Any

Note: When the filter's Protocol field is not set to TCP or UDP, then its Source Port and Destination Port are ignored.

Configure the filters on the client ports. See Enabling or disabling filtering on a port and Applying filters to a port.
