Opened: Aug 28, 2020

Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

The node iRule command causes the specified server node to be used directly, thus bypassing any load-balancing. However, with HTTP/2, the node command may fail to execute within the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event. This results in no traffic being sent to configured node.

Impact

With HTTP/2 configured, the iRule node command fails to execute within the CLIENT_ACCEPTED event, causing no traffic to be sent to the desired node.

Conditions

-- A node command is used under CLIENT_ACCEPTED event. -- An HTTP/2 profile applied to virtual server. -- The HTTP/2 protocol in use.

Workaround

As a workaround, you may use HTTP_REQUEST event instead of CLIENT_ACCEPTED in iRule syntax.

Fix Information

None
