Opened: Mar 29, 2018

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

Online documentation describes a persistence mechanism which uses the HTTP Host: header. However, this mechanism is not implemented, and attempts to use it generates an error.

Impact

Although this does not impact any existing functionality, the documented function is not available.

Conditions

Online help for ltm persistence says that Host persistence can be enabled via iRule, but attempting to do so generates an error 'invalid argument host'.

Workaround

There is no workaround at this time.

Fix Information

LTM Host: header persistence is implemented.
