is never processed. This effectively creates a new default match rule that you can configure with the desired load
balancing options. Also note that some options in the match rule displayed in Figure 45 are only displayed for an
HTTPS cluster, or on an Equalizer with GZIP compression enabled.
The following section shows you how to create a new Match Rule.
Creating a New Match Rule
To add a match rule to a virtual cluster, follow this general procedure:
1. Log into the Administrative Interface using a login that has
add/del
access for the cluster (see “Logging In” on
page 52).
2. In the left frame, right-click the name of the Layer 7 cluster to which you want to add a match rule, and select
Add Match Rule
.

3. Enter a name for the new rule in the
match name
field or accept the default. All match names within a cluster
must be unique.
4. In the
servers
section, use the CTRL+left click and SHIFT+left click to select the names of the servers that you
want to use to load balance requests that match the rule.
Select
commit
once you choose the servers for the match rule.
Caution – If you do not enable a check box for at least one server, Equalizer will drop the connection for any
request that matches the rule .
