IP::client_addr

Description

Returns the client IP address of a connection. This command is equivalent to the command clientside { IP::remote_addr } and to the BIG-IP 4.X variable client_addr.
From BIG-IP 10.x with route domains enabled if the client is in any non-default route domain, this command returns the client IP address in the x.x.x.x%rd. For clients in the default route domain, it returns just the IPv4 address.

Syntax

Examples

when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
  if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.10.10] } {
     pool my_pool
 }
}

In BIG-IP 10.x with Route Domains:
when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   # Check if client IP is 10.10.10.10, in route domain 100
   if { [IP::addr [IP::client_addr] equals 10.10.10.10%100] } {
      pool my_pool
   }
}


when CLIENT_ACCEPTED {
   # Check if client IP is 10.10.10.10, in any route domain
   if { [IP::addr [getfield [IP::client_addr] "%" 1] equals 10.10.10.10] } {
       pool my_pool
   }
}
