Trying to create an irule and when using ip::remote_addr, it is adding the %rd to the IP address. I am fairly new to irules, but wondering if that route domain designation can be strip...
There are a number of ways of doing that, but here is one (though untested!) that should work:
when HTTP_REQUEST { HTTP::header insert X-Some-Header "[getfield [IP::client_addr] % 1]" }For more information on
:getfieldI also encourage, for header insertion, that you consider using Local Traffic Policies, if possible:

John_Bartoldus_This worked nicely. Thanks. Just curious, why Local Traffic Policies instead of iRule? Both in my initial training and F5 professional services recommended iRules instead of Local Traffic Policies. But, that could have been for personal reasons. I am curious to hear pros and cons of each.
