Ali26 Which SNAT were you reading about that stated it uses the floating IP of the F5? From my understanding the F5 uses the self-IP for SNAT automatically if you use the automap feature and not the floating IP so HA or standalone shouldn't matter because it always uses the self-IP. I don't ever recommend configuring SNAT with the self-IP or floating IP of your F5 for standalone or HA. I recommend configuring a SNAT pool with the virtual server IP of the virtual server in question in that SNAT pool. The reason for a SNAT pool with the virtual server IP is because when left alone using auto-map in a high connection environment you could technically exhaust all the ports for the self-IP and then things such as health checks would not function correctly and so you would use the virtual server IP instead in the SNAT pool.
