When configuring a Virtual Server to use an iRule with an HTTP_REQUEST event, which lists required steps in a proper order to create all necessary objects?
To configure a Virtual Server to use an iRule with an HTTP_REQUEST event, it is essential to create the required pools first, followed by creating a custom HTTP profile (if needed for the HTTP_REQUEST event). Then, create the iRule and finally, create the Virtual Server. This sequence ensures that all necessary components, including the pools and the iRule, are ready and can be properly associated when creating the Virtual Server. Creating the HTTP profile before the Virtual Server is also critical for supporting HTTP_REQUEST events.
In my opinion, leave the creation of the virtual server for last. Also create the pools before the iRule in case the pool is to be used in the iRule. My answer is D.
While creating the Virtual server you can create all required items including the iRule in one step/wizard. This a simplicity. and also you have to edit the VS to apply the iRule. So B is the accurate choice here!
I agree but I think D is more flexible. B make more sense but D is OK too.
I think its, you need to create HTTP profile for HTTP_REQUEST https://community.f5.com/t5/technical-forum/requires-an-associated-http-or-fasthttp-profile-on-the-virtual/td-p/31321#:~:text=Just%20as%20it%20says%2C%20you%20need%20to%20add,that%20Virtual%20Server.%20HTTP_REQUEST%20is%20such%20an%20event.
you dont need to define any profile in order to apply the iRule to the VS. You can use default profiles for everything. That is why only the option B makes sense despite they "edit the VS" which is sort of duplicate task...
