iRule closes connection

In general, it's a good idea to check the /var/log/ltm file for TCL errors and iRule logging. You can do this via the GUI in system >> logs >> local traffic or by accessing the command line and tailing the file (tail -f /var/log/ltm).

 

 

The reason you're getting resets to the client with that rule is that you're executing the client IP and port as a command. If you remove the outer pair of braces from your set command you should see the request go through.

 

 

Try this for example:

 

 

set src_ip_and_port "[IP::client_addr]:[TCP::client_port]"

 

log local0. "\$src_ip_and_port: $src_ip_and_port"

 

 

Out of curiosity, is there a reason you're trying to persist on the client IP and client port? Depending on the protocol/application, the client port could be selected and changed arbitrarily.
