iRules Blocking Traffic

I have an iRule that is suppose to only change an idle timer on certain traffic. However, when I enable it is seems to only allow the traffic defined the the iRule and no other connections can be mad...

Hi UniFirst,

 

your iRule is almost identical with the provided example of: https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iRules.IP__idle_timeout.ashx

 

Stanislav already told you how to combine AND & OR operators to chain multiple conditions in a single [if].

 

The connection reset you're experiencing may occour because the variable $serverside_idle_timeout is not alway set and therefor may break your connection. The provided example contains an additional [info exist] error handle within SERVER_CONNECTED event to check if the variable $serverside_idle_timeout is set right before accessing it.

 

Cheers, Kai
