You can use Azure PowerShell to configure URL-based routing rules when you create an application gateway. In this tutorial, you create backend pools using virtual machine scale sets. You then create URL routing rules that make sure web traffic is redirected to the appropriate backend pool.
In this tutorial, you learn how to:
[!div class="checklist"]
- Set up the network
- Create an application gateway
- Add listeners and routing rules
- Create virtual machine scale sets for backend pools
The following example shows site traffic coming from both ports 8080 and 8081 and being directed to the same backend pools:
If you prefer, you can complete this tutorial using Azure CLI.
If you don't have an Azure subscription, create a free account before you begin.

If you choose to install and use the PowerShell locally, this tutorial requires the Azure PowerShell module version 3.6 or later. To find the version, run Get-Module -ListAvailable AzureRM
. If you need to upgrade, see Install Azure PowerShell module. If you are running PowerShell locally, you also need to run Connect-AzureRmAccount
to create a connection with Azure.
A resource group is a logical container into which Azure resources are deployed and managed. Create an Azure resource group using New-AzureRmResourceGroup.
New-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroupAG -Location eastus
Create the subnet configurations for myBackendSubnet and myAGSubnet using New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig. Create the virtual network named myVNet using New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork with the subnet configurations. And finally, create the public IP address named myAGPublicIPAddress using New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress. These resources are used to provide network connectivity to the application gateway and its associated resources.
$backendSubnetConfig = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig `
-Name myBackendSubnet `
-AddressPrefix 10.0.1.0/24
$agSubnetConfig = New-AzureRmVirtualNetworkSubnetConfig `
-Name myAGSubnet `
-AddressPrefix 10.0.2.0/24
New-AzureRmVirtualNetwork `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Location eastus `
-Name myVNet `
-AddressPrefix 10.0.0.0/16 `
-Subnet $backendSubnetConfig, $agSubnetConfig
New-AzureRmPublicIpAddress `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Location eastus `
-Name myAGPublicIPAddress `
-AllocationMethod Dynamic
In this section, you create resources that support the application gateway, and then finally create it. The resources that you create include:
- IP configurations and frontend port - Associates the subnet that you previously created to the application gateway and assigns a port to use to access it.
- Default pool - All application gateways must have at least one backend pool of servers.
- Default listener and rule - The default listener listens for traffic on the port that was assigned and the default rule sends traffic to the default pool.
Associate myAGSubnet that you previously created to the application gateway using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayIPConfiguration. Assign myAGPublicIPAddress to the application gateway using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendIPConfig. And then you can create the HTTP port using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort.
$vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myVNet
$subnet=$vnet.Subnets[0]
$pip = Get-AzureRmPublicIpAddress `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAGPublicIPAddress
$gipconfig = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayIPConfiguration `
-Name myAGIPConfig `
-Subnet $subnet
$fipconfig = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendIPConfig `
-Name myAGFrontendIPConfig `
-PublicIPAddress $pip
$frontendport = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort `
-Name myFrontendPort `
-Port 80
Create the default backend pool named appGatewayBackendPool for the application gateway using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool. Configure the settings for the backend pool using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings.
$defaultPool = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-Name appGatewayBackendPool
$poolSettings = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings `
-Name myPoolSettings `
-Port 80 `
-Protocol Http `
-CookieBasedAffinity Enabled `
-RequestTimeout 120
A listener is required to enable the application gateway to route traffic appropriately to a backend pool. In this tutorial, you create multiple listeners. The first basic listener expects traffic at the root URL. The other listeners expect traffic at specific URLs, such as http://52.168.55.24:8080/images/ or http://52.168.55.24:8081/video/.
Create a listener named defaultListener using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener with the frontend configuration and frontend port that you previously created. A rule is required for the listener to know which backend pool to use for incoming traffic. Create a basic rule named rule1 using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRequestRoutingRule.
$defaultlistener = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-Name defaultListener `
-Protocol Http `
-FrontendIPConfiguration $fipconfig `
-FrontendPort $frontendport
$frontendRule = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRequestRoutingRule `
-Name rule1 `
-RuleType Basic `
-HttpListener $defaultlistener `
-BackendAddressPool $defaultPool `
-BackendHttpSettings $poolSettings
Now that you created the necessary supporting resources, specify parameters for the application gateway named myAppGateway using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewaySku, and then create it using New-AzureRmApplicationGateway.
$sku = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewaySku `
-Name Standard_Medium `
-Tier Standard `
-Capacity 2
New-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-Name myAppGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Location eastus `
-BackendAddressPools $defaultPool `
-BackendHttpSettingsCollection $poolSettings `
-FrontendIpConfigurations $fipconfig `
-GatewayIpConfigurations $gipconfig `
-FrontendPorts $frontendport `
-HttpListeners $defaultlistener `
-RequestRoutingRules $frontendRule `
-Sku $sku
You can add backend pools to your application gateway by using Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool. In this example, imagesBackendPool and videoBackendPool are created. You add the frontend port for the pools using Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort. You then submit the changes to the application gateway using Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway.
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name imagesBackendPool
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name videoBackendPool
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name bport `
-Port 8080
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name rport `
-Port 8081
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
Add the listeners named backendListener and redirectedListener that are needed to route traffic using Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener.
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
$backendPort = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name bport
$redirectPort = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendPort `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name rport
$fipconfig = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayFrontendIPConfig `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name backendListener `
-Protocol Http `
-FrontendIPConfiguration $fipconfig `
-FrontendPort $backendPort
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectedListener `
-Protocol Http `
-FrontendIPConfiguration $fipconfig `
-FrontendPort $redirectPort
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
URL path maps make sure that specific URLs are routed to specific backend pools. You can create the URL path maps named imagePathRule and videoPathRule using New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayPathRuleConfig and Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayUrlPathMapConfig.
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
$poolSettings = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name myPoolSettings
$imagePool = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name imagesBackendPool
$videoPool = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name videoBackendPool
$defaultPool = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name appGatewayBackendPool
$imagePathRule = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayPathRuleConfig `
-Name imagePathRule `
-Paths "/images/*" `
-BackendAddressPool $imagePool `
-BackendHttpSettings $poolSettings
$videoPathRule = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayPathRuleConfig `
-Name videoPathRule `
-Paths "/video/*" `
-BackendAddressPool $videoPool `
-BackendHttpSettings $poolSettings
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayUrlPathMapConfig `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name urlpathmap `
-PathRules $imagePathRule, $videoPathRule `
-DefaultBackendAddressPool $defaultPool `
-DefaultBackendHttpSettings $poolSettings
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
You can configure redirection for the listener using Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRedirectConfiguration.
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
$backendListener = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name backendListener
$redirectConfig = Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRedirectConfiguration `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectConfig `
-RedirectType Found `
-TargetListener $backendListener `
-IncludePath $true `
-IncludeQueryString $true
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
$poolSettings = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendHttpSettings `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name myPoolSettings
$defaultPool = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayBackendAddressPool `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name appGatewayBackendPool
$redirectConfig = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRedirectConfiguration `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectConfig
$redirectPathRule = New-AzureRmApplicationGatewayPathRuleConfig `
-Name redirectPathRule `
-Paths "/images/*" `
-RedirectConfiguration $redirectConfig
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayUrlPathMapConfig `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectpathmap `
-PathRules $redirectPathRule `
-DefaultBackendAddressPool $defaultPool `
-DefaultBackendHttpSettings $poolSettings
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
The routing rules associate the URL maps with the listeners that you created. You can add the rules named defaultRule and redirectedRule using Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRequestRoutingRule.
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myAppGateway
$backendlistener = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name backendListener
$redirectlistener = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayHttpListener `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectedListener
$urlPathMap = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayUrlPathMapConfig `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name urlpathmap
$redirectPathMap = Get-AzureRmApplicationGatewayUrlPathMapConfig `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectpathmap
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRequestRoutingRule `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name defaultRule `
-RuleType PathBasedRouting `
-HttpListener $backendlistener `
-UrlPathMap $urlPathMap
Add-AzureRmApplicationGatewayRequestRoutingRule `
-ApplicationGateway $appgw `
-Name redirectedRule `
-RuleType PathBasedRouting `
-HttpListener $redirectlistener `
-UrlPathMap $redirectPathMap
Set-AzureRmApplicationGateway -ApplicationGateway $appgw
In this example, you create three virtual machine scale sets that support the three backend pools that you created. The scale sets that you create are named myvmss1, myvmss2, and myvmss3. Each scale set contains two virtual machine instances on which you install IIS. You assign the scale set to the backend pool when you configure the IP settings.
$vnet = Get-AzureRmVirtualNetwork `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `
-Name myVNet
$appgw = Get-AzureRmApplicationGateway `
-ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG `

-ApplicationGateway $appgw
for ($i=1; $i -le 3; $i++)
{
if ($i -eq 1)
{
$poolId = $backendPool.Id
}
if ($i -eq 2)
{
$poolId = $imagesPool.Id
}
if ($i -eq 3)
{
$poolId = $videoPool.Id
}

You can use Get-AzureRmPublicIPAddress to get the public IP address of the application gateway. Copy the public IP address, and then paste it into the address bar of your browser. Such as, http://52.168.55.24, http://52.168.55.24:8080/images/test.htm, http://52.168.55.24:8080/video/test.htm, or http://52.168.55.24:8081/images/test.htm.
Get-AzureRmPublicIPAddress -ResourceGroupName myResourceGroupAG -Name myAGPublicIPAddress
Change the URL to http://<ip-address>:8080/video/test.htm, substituting your IP address for <ip-address>, and you should see something like the following example:
Change the URL to http://<ip-address>:8080/video/test.htm, substituting your IP address for <ip-address>, and you should see something like the following example:
Now, change the URL to http://<ip-address>:8081/images/test.htm, substituting your IP address for <ip-address>, and you should see traffic redirected back to the images backend pool at http://<ip-address>:8080/images.
When no longer needed, remove the resource group, application gateway, and all related resources using Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup.
Remove-AzureRmResourceGroup -Name myResourceGroupAG
