Synopsis

  • Binding Resource definition for describing association between gslbvserver and lbpolicy resources

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

gotopriorityexpression

string

Expression specifying the priority of the next policy which will get evaluated if the current policy rule evaluates to TRUE.

o If gotoPriorityExpression is not present or if it is equal to END then the policy bank evaluation ends here

o Else if the gotoPriorityExpression is equal to NEXT then the next policy in the priority order is evaluated.

o Else gotoPriorityExpression is evaluated. The result of gotoPriorityExpression (which has to be a number) is processed as follows:

  • An UNDEF event is triggered if

    . gotoPriorityExpression cannot be evaluated

    . gotoPriorityExpression evaluates to number which is smaller than the maximum priority in the policy bank but is not same as any policy’s priority

    . gotoPriorityExpression evaluates to a priority that is smaller than the current policy’s priority

  • If the gotoPriorityExpression evaluates to the priority of the current policy then the next policy in the priority order is evaluated.

  • If the gotoPriorityExpression evaluates to the priority of a policy further ahead in the list then that policy will be evaluated next.

This field is applicable only to rewrite and responder policies.
