Adding a Client IP Rule

A client IP rule is based on the client's IP address. Use this type of rule if you want to screen the customers and allocate resources based on where they are coming from.

Begin range
The lower value in the range used to determine whether a rule is true. The begin range for an IP rule is an integer. The default is 0.0.0.0.

End range
The high value in the range used to determine whether a rule is true. The end range is an integer. The default value is 255.255.255.254.

You can use rule-based load balancing to determine when and why packets are sent to specific servers. You must always use rules with the CBR component when using the Caching Proxy. If a request is not satisfied by any existing rules, CBR will force the Caching Proxy to return an error page to the user.

You may optionally configure additional parameters for this rule type from both the GUI and the command line.
