add HTTP header with BIGIP 4.5.10 build 84

I inherited a legacy BigIP and need to allow for the use of X-FORWARDED-FOR headers.

 

In reviewing the documentation, it seems we should be able to add an HTTP header to the the system from the CLI.

 

I use the below command b pool MYPOOL {header insert "X-Forwarded-For: ${client_addr}"}

 

however, when I run it, I get the below error.

 

bigpipe: X-Forwarded-For : syntax error, refer to extended help for assistance

 

does not matter what I put in the place of X-Forwarded-For, gives the same error:

 

b pool MYPOOL {header insert "OrigClientAddr: ${client_addr}"}

 

bigpipe: OrigClientAddr : syntax error, refer to extended help for assistance

 

I have tried with and without a space before the ${client_addr},

 

I realize this is a bit dated, but wondering if anyone has any legacy experience.

 

Thanks
