Invoke or remove a policy label or virtual server policy bank
Unlike a policy, which can only be bound once, you can use a policy label or a virtual server’s policy bank any number of times by invoking it. Invocation can be performed from two places:
- From the binding for a named policy in a policy bank.
- From the binding for a NOPOLICY “dummy” entry in a policy bank.
Typically, the policy label must be of the same type as the policy from which it is invoked. For example, you would invoke a responder policy label from a responder policy.
Note: When binding or unbinding a global NOPOLICY entry in a policy bank at the command line, you specify a priority to distinguish one NOPOLICY entry from another.
Invoke a rewrite or integrated caching policy label by using the CLI
At the command prompt, type the one of the following commands to invoke a rewrite or integrated caching policy label and verify the configuration:
- bind cache global <policy> -priority <positive_integer> [-gotoPriorityExpression <expression>] -type REQ_OVERRIDE|REQ_DEFAULT|RES_OVERRIDE|RES_DEFAULT] -invoke reqvserver|resvserver|policylabel <label_name>
- bind rewrite global<policy> -priority <positive_integer> [-gotoPriorityExpression <expression>] -type REQ_OVERRIDE|REQ_DEFAULT|RES_OVERRIDE|RES_DEFAULT] -invoke reqvserver|resvserver|policylabel <label_name>
- show cache global|show rewrite global

Example:
> bind cache global _nonPostReq2 -priority 100 -type req_override -invoke
policylabel lbl-cache-pol
Done
> show cache global
1) Global bindpoint: REQ_DEFAULT
Number of bound policies: 2
2) Global bindpoint: RES_DEFAULT
Number of bound policies: 1
3) Global bindpoint: REQ_OVERRIDE
Number of bound policies: 1

Invoke a responder policy label by using the CLI
At the command prompt, type the following commands to invoke a responder policy label and verify the configuration:
- bind responder global <policy_Name> <priority_as_positive_integer> [<gotoPriorityExpression>] -type REQ_OVERRIDE|REQ_DEFAULT|OVERRIDE|DEFAULT -invoke vserver|policylabel <label_name>
- show responder global

Example:
> bind responder global pol404Error1 300 -invoke policylabel lbl-respndr-pol

Invoke a virtual server policy bank by using the CLI
At the command prompt, type the following commands to invoke a Virtual Server Policy Bank and verify the configuration:
- bind lb vserver <vserver_name> -policyName <policy_Name> -priority <positive_integer> [-gotoPriorityExpression <expression>] -type REQUEST|RESPONSE -invoke reqvserver|resvserver|policylabel <policy_Label_Name>
- bind lb vserver <vserver_name>

Example:
> bind lb vserver lbvip -policyName ns_cmp_msapp -priority 100
Done
> show lb vserver lbvip

Invoke a policy label or virtual server policy bank by using the GUI
- Bind a policy, as described in Bind a policy globally, Bind a policy to a virtual server, or Bind a policy to a policy label. Alternatively, you can enter a NOPOLICY “dummy” entry instead of a policy name. You do this if you do not want to evaluate a policy before evaluating the policy bank.
- In the Invoke field, select the name of the policy label or virtual server policy bank that you want to evaluate if traffic matches the bound policy. A message in the status bar indicates that the policy label or virtual server policy bank is invoked successfully.
Remove a policy label invocation by using the GUI
- Open the policy and clear the Invoke field. Unbinding the policy also removes the invocation of the label. A message in the status bar indicates that the policy label is removed successfully.
