Radware-F5 migration

Hello to all

I need an iRule for F5. I'm doing a migration from the Radware load balancer to F5, in this farm there's this writing:

 

/ c / slb / layer7 / httpmod Proxy_mstr_cnhind_com

                ena

/ c / slb / layer7 / httpmod Proxy_mstr_cnhind_com / rule 4 header

                ena

                action replace "FROMHEADERNAME = Host" "FROMVALUE = mstr.cnhind.com" "TOHEADERNAME = Host" "TOVALUE = mstr.cnhind.com"

/ c / slb / layer7 / httpmod Proxy_mstr_cnhind_com / rule 8 header

                ena

                action insert "HEADERNAME = X-Forwarded-Host" "VALUE = mstr.cnhind.com"

/ c / slb / layer7 / httpmod Proxy_mstr_cnhind_com / rule 9 header

                ena

                action insert "HEADERNAME = X-Forwarded-Server" "VALUE = mstr.cnhind.com"

 

 

can you help me to convert it into an F5 iRule

    Hi

    This reads to me like you are just inserting the X-Forwarded-Host and X-Forwarded-Server headers. If so then this would work

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	HTTP::header insert "X-Forwarded-Host" "mstr.cnhind.com"
	HTTP::header insert "X-Forwarded-Server" "mstr.cnhind.com"
}

    You could refine this to check the Host header first.

    when HTTP_REQUEST {
	if {[HTTP::header host value] eq "mstr.cnhind.com"} {
	HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-Host "mstr.cnhind.com"
	HTTP::header insert X-Forwarded-Server "mstr.cnhind.com"
}
}

    The line to replace the Host header looks redundant to me as it's not changing the value of the header.
