iRule Syntax Error???
I must be in one of those "forest vs. the trees" situations. I've written a bunch of iRules with no problem, but one I'm currently working on is generating an error that has me stumped. (I'm running BIG-IP 9.2.3 Build 34.8.)
This much of it (a small subset) will cause "b verify load" to fail (or bigstart restart to fail, if I force it to load):
rule pvns_update_sdp {
when RULE_INIT {
log local0.debug "Here I am."
Define an array of "DESCRIBE active" flags, indexed by client IP.
array set ::pvnsDescribeActive { }
Clear the array if it was previously defined.
array unset ::pvnsDescribeActive
Define an array of "SDP active" flags, indexed by client IP.
array set ::pvnsSdpActive { }
Clear the array if it was previously defined.
array unset ::pvnsSdpActive
Define an array of Streamer virtual server addresses,
indexed by client IP.
array set ::pvnsStreamerVS { }
array unset ::pvnsStreamerVS
}
This event fires when the client (e.g. pvPlayer) makes a request to the
virtual server. We indicate that we want to collect the incoming TCP data
so we can examine TCP::payload.
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
set clientIP [IP::client_addr]
log local0.debug "=========================================="
log local0.debug "$clientIP has been accepted"
Get the address of the virtual server that the client came through.
set ::pvnsStreamerVS($clientIP} [IP::local_addr]
set ::pvnsDescribeActive($clientIP) 0
set ::pvnsSdpActive($clientIP) 0
TCP::collect 20
}
}
The message reported at the console indicates a problem at the penultimate right brace:
[root@sdbigip1:INOPERATIVE] config b verify load
BIGpipe is only validating the commands.
Reading configuration from /config/bigip_base.conf.

BIGpipe: 010a0040:3: Syntax error in /config/bigip.conf line 210:
}
[root@sdbigip1:INOPERATIVE] config
This rule is presently unused (not referenced by any other object) and is an attempt to incrementally rewrite a previous rule which presented problems. When I added the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event, it started causing problems. I know I'm gonna feel stooopid when someone tells me what I've done wrong, but I'm stumped.
Thanks for your help,
Mark
