Symptoms

PEM::subscriber create iRule command allows 'subscriber-id-type' as the keyword to input the subscriber type. However, this keyword does not work in iRule commands. When using the 'subscriber-id-type' keyword, the iRule sometimes does not create the subscriber as expected.

Impact

Subscriber is not created as expected.

Conditions

Using PEM::subscriber create iRule command, and then add the subscriber type using the 'subscriber-id-type' keyword, for example: PEM::subscriber create 2345678910 subscriber-id-type imsi ip-address 192.168.145.10.

Workaround

Instead of using 'subscriber=id-type' as keyword in the command, using 'subscriber-type', For example: PEM::subscriber create 2345678910 subscriber-type imsi ip-address 192.168.145.10.

Fix Information

'PEM::subscriber create' iRule now uses the 'subscriber-id-type' keyword correctly.
