Before You Configure the Redirect Server on a C-Series Controller

Before you configure the redirect server on a C-series Controller:

  • Configure the connection between the redirect server and the JUNOSe router by configuring policies on the C-series controller:
    • Configure and enable the HTTP local server on the JUNOSe router
    • On the C-series Controller, configure a policy that includes the following policy actions to define which traffic to send to the redirect server:
      • An exception action to specify that an HTTP application receive traffic.
      • An http redirect policy action to specify the URL to receive packets identified in the exception application action.

        Note: Alternatively, if the distance between the JUNOSe routers and the C-series Controller is one hop away, you can configure a next-hop policy on the JUNOSe router that specifies a destination address that is the virtual IP address of the active redirect server rather than configuring an SRC policy.

  • If you plan to configure a redundant redirect server, make sure that you are familiar with the network configuration required.
