NimbostratusStrip route domain from ip::remote_addr
Hello.
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:

EmployeeLocal Traffic Policies are part of the standard configuration, and as a consequence, are generally easier to operationalize, replicate and are better supported by F5. Moreover, built-in functions are usually faster than iRules because they are less generic. Having said that, of course, there are some functions that cannot be performed with Local Traffic Policies, and in those cases, iRules are the way to go.
