Application profile must be created to define the behavior of a particular type of network traffic.
For NSX-T, two application profiles need to be created to:
- Redirect HTTP to HTTPS
- Handle HTTPS traffic
After the configuration of an application profile, the same should be associated with a virtual server. The virtual server then processes traffic according to the options specified in the application profile.
Log in to the NSX-T UI:
Configure the Application Profile for HTTP requests:
- Go to Load Balancing -> Virtual Servers -> Application Profiles
- Click the Add (
) icon and choose HTTP Profile.
- Choose a name for the profile and enter parameters (please refer to the example below)
Configure the Application Profile for HTTPS requests:
- Go to Load Balancing -> Virtual Servers -> Application Profiles
- Click the Add (
) icon and choose Fast TCP Profile.
- Choose a name for the profile and enter parameters (please refer to the example below)
