In content switching, which component determines where to forward matching requests?

• A. The CS policy
• B. The CS action
• C. The LB vServer
• D. The vServer

Answer: (A)

In content switching, the decision of where to send a matching request is made by the content switching action attached to a policy. The policy defines the condition that must be met for a match. When that condition is true, the system executes the associated action, and that action specifies the destination vServer (the LB vServer) to forward the request to, along with any other prescribed actions. So the policy answers “what to match,” while the action answers “where to forward.” The other elements are the targets or containers, but they don’t define the forwarding destination by themselves.
