IP::remote_addr
Returns the IP address of the host on the far end of the connection.
SYNOPSIS
IP::remote_addr (clientside | serverside)?
DESCRIPTION
Returns the IP address of the host on the far end of the connection. In the clientside context, this is the
client IP address. In the serverside context this is the node IP address. You can also specify the
IP::client_addr and IP::server_addr commands, respectively.
In BIG-IP 10.x with route domains enabled this command returns the remote IP address in the x.x.x.x%rd of the
server or client (depending on the context) that is in any non-default route domain else it returns just the
IP address as expected.
This command is equivalent to the BIG-IP 4.X variable remote_addr.
