Opened: Aug 12, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The LTM Policy forwarding action 'reset', which forcibly terminates the client connection, works for requests, but gives an error when used with a response event.

Impact

LTM Policy action does not work. System posts error message similar to the following: transaction failed:010716e2:3: Policy '/Common/Drafts/mypolicy', rule 'rule-1'; an action precedes its conditions.

Conditions

Issue occurs in an LTM Policy rule where one or more of the conditions is associated with HTTP response, for example, checking the HTTP status code in the response from a backend server.

Workaround

None.

Fix Information

LTM Policy action to reset connection now works for response events.
