5.3. Defining a Service Chain

Note

Service chains and traffic policies are only deployed to a BIG-IP Next instance when associated to an application.

5.3.1. Create a Service Chain

With the ICAP inspection service created, you will create a new service chain that contains that service, along with the Inline L3 service that was created in the previous module.

1. In the SSL Orchestrator menu, click on Service Chains.

2. Click + Create in the top right to add a new Service Chain.

   

3. In the Create Service Chain panel:

   • Enter my-service-chain-lab3 in the Name field.

   • Enter L3 and ICAP service chain in the Description field (optional).

4. In the Inspection Services section, click the Start Adding button.

5. Select the both of the previously created inspection services and then click Add to List.

   Hint

   Scroll down if you don't see both services.

   

6. Click the Save button to save the service chain configuration.

   

   Note

   If needed, the ordering of the Inspection Services can be changed by selecting the checkbox beside a service, and then clicking on the up-arrow or down-arrow buttons.

The new service chain will appear in the list.
