Hello sandiksk.

You have several mistakes in your iRule.

  1. Set a default condition in your switch sentence (in case of no matching condition)
  2. Remove ';' characters in your switch options
  3. You should use static variables in RULE_INIT to be CMP-compatible (see THIS)

  4. If you are still having problems with 'debug' variable in logs, try to use a comparation statement like this ->

    "

    if { $debug != 0 } {
    " or "
    if { $static::debug != 0 } {
    " (to be CMP-compatible)

KR, Dario.
