The command is a way to strip out a port in the host header field, if one is present.

 

 

getfield parses the HTTP host header value, splits it on a : if one is there and returns the first field. See the wiki page for details:

 

 

http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/getfield

 

 

So if you have a host header of www.example.com:80 or www.example.com, that getfield command will return www.example.com in both cases.
