Sideband connection coming from 127.1.1.3: virtual server can't reply. How to fix?

Hi all, I have an iRule configured on a virtual server that is attempting to make a sideband connection to another virtual server. The target virtual server also has an iRule, and everything works ...

    In the Sideband connect command you can set the IP and port to source the connection from. This will allow you to pick a IP address the VIP can respond to.

     

    connect [-protocol TCP|UDP] [-myport ] [-tos ] [-status ] [-idle ] [-timeout ] 
-myaddr and -myport can be used for sourcing the connection from a specific source address and/or port. If specifying a source IP address, it must be one which TMM answers ARP for (ideally a self IP address)

    Thank you! Looks like a doc bug there - there's no [-myaddr] in the initial description of the connect command
