DataScript
| Function | avi.pool.select( pool, server, port ) |
| Description | Selects a pool or a specific server and port within a pool for the current request. |
| Events | VS_DATASCRIPT_EVT_L4_REQUEST |
| Parameters | pool is a specific pool name or an expression that evaluates to a valid pool name. The server parameter (a string) is the IPv4 address of the server, in quotes. The port parameter (an integer) forwards the connection to a specific service port of the server. The port must be a number between 0 and 65536, or an expression that evaluates to a valid port number. |
| Caveats | The pool name, server name or IP, and the server port may be called explicitly, or dynamically determined based on a Lua expression. If the pool name, server, or server port do not exist or are not able to be referenced by the virtual service, an error is generated. |
| Returns | No value returned |
| Example 1 | Forward the request to an explicit destination. |
