Bind a classic policy

Depending on the policy type, you can bind a classic policy either globally or to a virtual server. Policy bind points are described in the table, “Policy Type and Bind Points for Policies in Features That Use Classic Policies.”

Note: You can bind a classic policy to multiple bind points.

Bind a classic policy globally by using the CLI

At the command prompt, type the following commands to set the parameters and verify the configuration:

-  bind cmp global <policyName> [-priority <positive_integer>]  

-  show cmp global  
<!--NeedCopy-->

Example

> bind cmp global cmp-pol-compress -priority 2
 Done
> show cmp global
1)      Policy Name: cmp-pol-compress   Priority: 2
2)      Policy Name: ns_nocmp_xml_ie    Priority: 8700
3)      Policy Name: ns_nocmp_mozilla_47        Priority: 8800
4)      Policy Name: ns_cmp_mscss       Priority: 8900
5)      Policy Name: ns_cmp_msapp       Priority: 9000
6)      Policy Name: ns_cmp_content_type        Priority: 10000

Bind a classic policy to a virtual server by using the CLI

At the command prompt, type the following commands to set the parameters and verify the configuration:

-  bind lb vserver <name> [<targetVserver>] [-policyName <string> [-priority <positive_integer>]  

-  show lb vserver<name>  
<!--NeedCopy-->

Example

> bind lb vserver lbtemp -policyName cmp-pol-compress -priority 1
 Done
> show lb vserver lbtemp

Bind a classic policy globally by using the GUI

Note: This procedure documents the Global Bindings dialog box. Depending on the feature for which you want to globally bind a policy, the route by which you arrive at this dialog box may be different.

  1. In the navigation pane, expand the feature for which you want to globally bind a classic policy, and then locate the policy that you want to bind globally.

    Note: You cannot globally bind policies for Content Switching, Cache Redirection, SureConnect, Priority Queuing, or Citrix Gateway Authorization.

  2. In the details pane, click Global Bindings.

  3. In the Bind/Unbind <feature name> Policy(s) to Global dialog box, click Insert Policy.

  4. In the Policy Name column, click the name of an existing policy that you want to globally bind, or click New Policy to open the Create <feature name> Policy dialog box.

  5. After you have selected the policy or created a new policy, in the Priority column, type the priority value.

    The lower the number, the sooner this policy is applied relative to other policies. For example, a policy assigned a priority of 10 is applied before a policy with a priority of 100. You can use the same priority for different policies. All features that use classic policies implement only the first policy that a connection matches, so policy priority is important for getting the results you intend.

    As a best practice, leave room to add policies by setting priorities with intervals of 50 (or 100) between each policy.

  6. Click OK.

Bind a classic policy to a virtual server by using the GUI

  1. In the navigation pane, expand the feature that contains the virtual server to which you want to bind a classic policy (for example, if you want to bind a classic policy to a content switching virtual server, expand Traffic Management > Content Switching), and then click Virtual Servers.

  2. In the details pane, select the virtual server, and then click Open.

  3. In the Configure <Feature> Virtual Server dialog box, on the Policies tab, click the feature icon for the type policy that you want, and then click Insert Policy.

  4. In the Policy Name column, click the name of an existing policy that you want to bind to a virtual server, or click A to open the Create <feature name> Policy dialog box.

  5. After you have selected the policy or created a new policy, in the Priority column, set the priority.

    If you are binding a policy to a content switching virtual server, in the Target column, select a load balancing virtual server to which traffic that matches the policy should be sent.

  6. Click OK.
