Issue while configuring IP whitelist

Traefik Traefik v2

Hi,
We are currently using EKS 1.21 and upgraded our ingress traefik from 1.7 to 2.5 in order to support the API changes of EKS 1.22.

We want to restrict service requests per IP like we had configured successfully in traefik 1.7 which isn't working as expected in traefik 2.5.

We followed these docs:

  1. Traefik HTTP Middlewares IPWhiteList - Traefik
  2. https://blog.knoldus.com/how-to-whitelist-ips-using-traefik-ingress-controller/

Here are out ingress and Middleware yaml files we configured:
