A responder policy that matches a specific AVP value will, by design, redirect the request. Which option reflects this behavior?

• A. Redirect the request
• B. Change the header
• C. Drop the request
• D. Forward to origin

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that a responder policy can act on a matched condition by sending a direct response back to the client, rather than forwarding the request upstream. When the policy matches a specific AVP value and is configured with a Redirect action, the ADC responds with an HTTP redirect (a 3xx status with a Location header) guiding the client to a new URL. This is exactly the behavior described: a matched AVP triggers a redirect to a different resource or page.

Other actions like changing headers, dropping the request, or forwarding to the origin would not cause the client to be redirected; they either modify the request/response in place, terminate it, or pass it upstream.
