  • Hi,

     

     

    I don't think the length of the name is the problem. I have a rule name which is 40 characters long and it works as expected. What version are you running and what are the names of the rule which works and doesn't work? I would guess the name which isn't working might have a reserved word in it (Click here or Click here).

  • Hi,

     

     

    Rule name is "rule_ccb_sri_prefer" that doesn't wotk.

     

     

    I change it to "rule2", It's can be run.

     

     

    If "rule" is reserve word, Why "rule2" can be run?

     

     

    Thank,

  • I tested that rule name on 9.4 and didn't see any issues. Do you see any errors in /var/log/ltm? Else, what are the symptoms of the issue?

    I don't see any error (except member status up/down) in /var/log/ltm.
  • I don't know of any issues with pool or iRule names in 9.1.x that would cause a connection failure. You might open a case with F5 support to investigate this.
