Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
You must have administrator privileges to issue this command.
This command applies to the service that was speciÞed in the most recently issued configure service
L7
command. That service is called the current service.
This command establishes the context for subsequent commands that conÞgure pattern rules for the
domain. It is relevant only for a layer 7 service that uses HTTP.
You use this command as follows:
¥ If the current service uses the domain speciÞed in the client request to select a server group, you
must:
a Issue the configure domain command to conÞgure a recognized domain name for the current
service; the domain speciÞed in this command is called the current domain.
b Issue the appropriate commands to conÞgure pattern rules for the current domain.
c If more than one domain name is recognized for the current service, repeat steps a and b for each
additional recognized domain name.
d Issue the configure domain default command to conÞgure a default domain for the current
service.
e Issue the appropriate commands to conÞgure pattern rules for the default domain.
¥ If the current service uses only the URL (and not the domain) to select a server group, you must:
a Issue the configure domain command, specifying the special domain name "*".
b Issue the appropriate commands to conÞgure pattern rules for the current service.
For each conÞgured domain name, including the special domain name "*", you must conÞgure zero or
more non-default pattern rules (with the configure pattern-rule command) and one default pattern
rule (with the configure pattern-rule command).
name string The domain name as specified in a client request, or the special domain name "*" if the
server uses only the URL (and not the domain name) to select a server group.
The name string "*" matches any request with an unspecified domain name, that is, any
request in which the domain name is not present in the HTTP header.
