l Defining ESI parser domains and rules.
There are three configuration “phases” on the controller as a part of the solution.
l The first phase configures the ESI ping health-check method, servers, and server groups.The term server here
refers to external AVF server devices.
l In the second phase of the configuration task, the user roles are configured with the redirection policies
(session ACL definition) instructing the controller to redirect the different types of traffic to different server
groups.
l In the final phase, the ESI parser domains and rules are configured.
The procedures shown in the following sections are based on the requirements in the example routed ESI topology.
Your application might be broader or narrower than this example, but the same general operations apply.
