Client Select iRule Failing to Compile

blwavg,

A couple of pointers. The set command is not quite right and needs to be after an event, so something like

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  set pool test_pool
  set member test_member

Also, you're checking on a client address but it would be good to check if the pool member is up to. Something like:

if { ([IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.10.10]) && if { ([LB::status pool $pool member x.x.x.x 80] eq "up") }{

Notice I've added a port here (80) and entered an IP address (x.x.x.x) too.

Final two things. The member variable you set is fine in itself, however, the way you use it I don't think it will work. It should be an IP address, rather than test_member. You then add a port too to the pool command. An example:

pool default_pool member x.x.x.x 80

Any reason why you're using default_pool here but set a variable for test_pool?

Anyway, hope this helps you build a working iRule.

I get REALLY close after some tweaking:

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set pool test_pool
if { ([IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.2.20]) && if { ([LB::status pool $pool member 192.168.192.168 443] eq "up") }
      pool $pool member 192.168.192.168 443
   }else { pool $pool 
   }
}

I still get this error:

Rule [/Common/Client_select] error: /Common/Client_select:5: error: [parse error: extra characters after close-brace][else { pool $pool}]

I cannot for the life of me fine the extra character... I will keep trying to fix. I have copied and pasted from note pad and tried manually wiping out any erroneous characters with no luck.

Try this instead:

 when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
 set pool test_pool
  if {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.2.20]}{
  if {[LB::status pool $pool member 198.168.192.168 443] eq "up"}{      
   pool $pool member 192.168.192.168 443
   } else { 
   pool $pool 
 }
}    
}
