FTP Client IP

Is their an iRule to pass an FTP client's real IP address to the back-end similar to the XForwarded-For or the following iRule for HTTP requests?

 

 

when HTTP_REQUEST {

 

HTTP::header insert "Client-Addr" [IP::remote_addr]

 

}

 

 

Thanks,

    Hi Omer,

     

     

    There isn't a way to insert an arbitrary header in FTP traffic. You could technically change the network layout to remove the requirement for source address translation to avoid the issue.
