iRule nexthop command does not work with IPv6 addresses. A connection to a virtual server that uses the nexthop command with a VLAN and an IPv6 address might experience delayed or failed connections.
Delayed or failed connections. A connection to a virtual which uses the nexthop command without a VLAN specification, and an IPv6 address reports an iRule runtime error similar to the following: 01220001:3: TCL error: /Common/IPV6_http_bypass <HTTP_REQUEST> - while executing 'nexthop IPv6_address.'
iRule that uses either: nexthop vlan_name IPv6_address or nexthop IPv6_Address.
If possible, use a convention similar to the following example, substituting in your values: nexthop vlan_name ethernet_address.
The nexthop iRule command now works with IPv6 addresses.
