AltostratusIRULE - IP::client_addr
Hello,
I want to ask a question about "IP::client_addr". I write the following irule:
When client has the X.X.X.3 ip address, it goes to the first "if" thats okey and I see from the ltm log ( I opened a debug..) , but the connection is not forwarded to the Pool x it is forwarded to the default Pool, I also see from the log file that the same connection is also forwarded to the default pool. How can it be possible? What is wrong in this irule?
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals x.x.x.0/24]}{
pool X
}
if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals y.y.y.0/24]}{
pool Y
}
else {
default pool
}

have you forgotten else between the first and second if statement?
e.g.if {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals x.x.x.0/24]} { pool X } elseif {[IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals y.y.y.0/24]} { pool Y } else { pool default } 
LillyM_9417Thanks for your advice, I will try it now :)- LillyM_9417it works, you are great!
- This is an excellent example of the way that the pool command actually works in an iRule. It's effectively updating a pointer that is used to route traffic. I think this one deserves a Tech Tip, adding it to my list for the iRules Concepts series to do some more digging on.
