Scenario: The policies below are bound to a content switching vServer. bind cs vServer vserver1 –policyName CSPOL_7 –priority 100 –gotoPriorityExpression NEXT bind cs vServer vserver1 –policyName CSPOL_5 –priority 90 bind cs vServer vserver1 –policyName CSPOL_9 –priority 110 bind cs vServer vserver1 –policyName CSPOL_4 –priority 120 bind cs vServer vserver1 –policyName CSPOL_8 –priority 210 Policy CSPOL_7 has been invoked. Which policy will be invoked next?

Explanation

CSPOL_9 is correct because policies on a Citrix ADC content switching vServer are evaluated in ascending priority order (lower number = evaluated first), and CSPOL_7 (priority 100) has a gotoPriorityExpression of NEXT, which explicitly instructs the engine to continue to the next numerically higher priority - that is priority 110, which belongs to CSPOL_9.

CSPOL_5 (D) is wrong because its priority (90) is lower than CSPOL_7's (100), meaning it was already evaluated before CSPOL_7 - you never go backwards. CSPOL_4 (A) is skipped because NEXT only jumps to the immediately next priority (110), not two steps ahead (120). CSPOL_8 (C) is wrong for the same reason - priority 210 is several steps beyond where NEXT lands.

Memory tip: Think of NEXT as "one step forward on the number line." Sort all bound priorities in ascending order, find the currently invoked policy, and NEXT always points to the very next entry in that sorted list.
