Pulse vTM-VA - application load balancing?

[SteveW]

Good morning,

We're currently using Pulse-vTM-VA, version 18.3 (Virtual Traffic Manager Appliance 2000 L ) and a client has asked if the device can load balance connections based on a URL. Is this possible with the device that we have? 

If so, is there documentation somewhere to help me configure this kind of setup?

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Hi Steve,

It's not really clear to me what you want to do - do you want URLs matching one pattern to go to one set of servers (pool), and URLs matching another pattern to go to a different pool?

You can do that with TrafficScript (or just RuleBuilder which is a GUI for TrafficScript).  If it's not what you want to do, TrafficScript can probably still do it.  Please see the TrafficScript Guide at at https://www-prev.pulsesecure.net/techpubs/Pulse-vADC-Solutions/Pulse-Virtual-Traffic-Manager, and https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Secure_Article/KB44677. 

Also please upgrade ASAP as 18.3 is vulnerable to this: https://kb.pulsesecure.net/articles/Pulse_Security_Advisories/SA44790/

Hi Laurence,

That was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for the link to the guides, I appreciate it.

We will be upgrading shortly.

Thanks!
