Why is a virtual service always up when a redirect policy is attached to it?
Answer
A virtual service on Avi Vantage remains always up when a redirect policy is attached to it. This is an expected behaviour and this behaviour is by design. A virtual service is kept alive if one of the following conditions is met:
- At least one of the pools associated to the virtual service is up.
- A policy (for example, a redirect policy) associated with the virtual service that does not need a pool.
- A DataScript attached to the policy.
- The virtual service is associated to a policy that sends a local response.
