Configuring the WSM using Device Manager

Configuring HTTP header-based Web Cache Redirection

Before configuring RTSP SLB using pattern matching, configure the WSM for server load balancing. See Configuring virtual server load balancing.

To configure HTTP header-based WCR.

1. Turn on URL parsing for the filter. See Creating a new filter. Set the following parameters.
   
   

   Filter field	Setting
   Index	<Filter index number>
   Name	HTTP-based Web Cache Redirection
   Filter	Enabled
   Action	Redirect
   Client Proxy
   Source IP Address
   Destination IP Address
   Protocol
   Source Port
   Destination Port
   Redirection Port
   Redirection Group
   URL Redirection	Enabled

   
   
2. Enable header load balancing for the Host: header. See Configuring HTTP header-based redirection requests.
3. Define the host names. See Defining a string for URL load balancing.
4. Add the defined string(s) to the real servers. See Configuring a real server for URL-based load balancing.
5. Define a real server group and add the real servers to it. See Configuring a real server group.
6. Configure the WSM to use the host header to determine whether requests are cacheable.
