Creating a Layer7 policy using the Cloud management portal¶

We recommend first reading our guide on layer 7 policies to get a better understanding of how they work.

To create a layer 7 policy by using the cloud management portal

• Press Networking and then Load balancers in the sidebar menu.

• Press the load balancer on which you want to add the rule.

• Press the Listeners tab and then the name of the listener to which you want to add the policy.

• Press the L7 policies tab.

• Press the + (plus) sign.

• Name your policy and optionally provide a description.

• Select your action and if applicable, provide a value (e.g. what domain to redirect to).

• Select a priority (1 is the lowest).

• Check admin state up assuming you want the rule to go live at once.

• Press Create

Once you’ve created a policy, you will also want to create a rule which triggers it.

• Press the newly created policies name.

• Press the L7 Rules tab.

• Press the + (plus) sign.

• Choose the type and if applicable, also input the key value.

• Choose compare type and input value for comparison.

• Check Admin state up assuming you want the rule to go live at once.

• Press Create

After some time to provision (when the Operating status says ONLINE), the rule is live.
