Can someone tell me what this iRule was intended to do?

Inherited a box with the following... other than the obvious typo (; instead of :)... can someone tell me what this rule was intended to do?

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED { 
switch [LINK::lasthop] { 
    "70:e4:22:xx:xx;xx" {nexthop vlan_int 90:6c:ac:xx:xx:xx}
    "90:6c:ac:xx:xx:xx" {nexthop vlan_ext 70:e4:22:xx:xx:xx}
    }

}

    Sets the nexthop to the specified ethernet address on the specified vlan based on incoming MAC address.

     

    The nexthop is the destination for packets going from the BIG-IP to the server. This command lets you specify the nexthop to use for a particular connection.
