steps: Navigate to the application gateway Under SETTINGS, click on Listeners, and a new blade will be opened Click on Multi-site and a new blade will be opened wherein you have to specify the following: Name: Specify a descriptive name for the listener Frontend IP configuration: Select the frontend IP configurations that should be associated with the listener Frontend port: You can either select a pre-created frontend port or create a new one Host name: Specify the host name on which multiple websites are hosted Protocol: Specify the used protocol whether it is HTTP or HTTPS Figure 8.20: Create multi-site listener Once you have clicked on OK, the listener will be added Configuring rules Rules are used to specify how the traffic will flow The following are two types of rules: Basic: In this case, any incoming traffic might access the desired content from multiple backend servers Path-based: In this case, if you want to access a specific content, you will access specific backend servers to access the content Configuring basic rule To configure a basic rule, you need to follow these steps: Navigate to the application gateway Under SETTINGS, click on Rules, and a new blade will be opened, as shown in the following screenshot: Figure 8.21: Application gateway rules To add a basic rule, click on Basic, and a new blade will be opened wherein you have to specify the following: Name: Specify a descriptive name for the rule Listener: Specify the listener to which this rule will be associated Backend pool: Specify the backend pool to which this rule will be associated HTTP setting: Specify to which HTTP setting this rule will be associated Figure 8.22: Configure basic rule Once you are done, click on OK and the rule will be created Configuring path-based rule To configure a path-based rule, you need to follow these steps: Navigate to the application gateway Under SETTINGS, click on Rules, and a new blade will be opened To add a path-based rule, click on Path-based, and a new blade will be opened wherein you have to specify the following: Name: Specify a descriptive name for the rule Listener: Specify the listener that will be associated with this rule Default backend pool: Specify the backend pool to which this rule will be associated Default HTTP settings: Specify the HTTP settings that will be associated with this rule Then, you have to specify the paths by specifying the following: NAME: Specify a descriptive name for the path PATHS: Specify the path itself BACKEND POOL: Specify the backend pool on which this path exists HTTP SETTINGS: Specify the HTTP settings that will be applied Figure 8.23: Configure path-based rule Once you are done, click on OK, and the rule will be added Configuring health probes By now, you should be aware that probes are used to monitor the health of the backend pool You can create and customize probes according to your needs To so, you need to follow these steps: Navigate to the application gateway Under SETTINGS, click on Health probes, and a new blade will be opened: Figure 8.24: Health probes To create health probes, click on Add, and a new blade will be opened wherein you have to specify the following: Name: A descriptive name for the health probe Protocol: Select the protocol you use, whether it is HTTP or HTTPS Host: Specify the host that you want to monitor Path: Specify which path you want to monitor Interval (seconds): The period after which a new probe is being sent Timeout (seconds): The period after which the probe will be considered unresponsive Unhealthy threshold: The number of unresponsive probes after which the host will be considered unhealthy Figure 8.25: Create a health probe Once you are done, you can click on OK, and the health probe will be created Summary It was a fruitful journey working with Azure networking solutions More importantly, you should have learned by now how to work with most of the networking solutions supported on Azure
