Hi,
I don't think the length of the name is the problem. I have a rule name which is 40 characters long and it works as expected. What version are you running and what are the names of the rule which works and doesn't work? I would guess the name which isn't working might have a reserved word in it (Click here or Click here).

Bobby_10891Hi,
Rule name is "rule_ccb_sri_prefer" that doesn't wotk.
I change it to "rule2", It's can be run.
If "rule" is reserve word, Why "rule2" can be run?
Thank,
Bob- Bobby_10891I forgot BIGIP version.
BIG-IP Version 9.1.1 54.6 - hoolioI tested that rule name on 9.4 and didn't see any issues. Do you see any errors in /var/log/ltm? Else, what are the symptoms of the issue?

I don't see any error (except member status up/down) in /var/log/ltm. - hoolioI don't know of any issues with pool or iRule names in 9.1.x that would cause a connection failure. You might open a case with F5 support to investigate this.
