can acess the internet from Server but i do see that i cant ping 4.2.2.2 or any othere internet IP ,i understand it is because of the property of SNAT as it do port translation ,Correct me is i am wrong .there is setting named "snat packet forwarding" at system > configuration > local traffic > general.
But i undersand there can be a port limitation on bigip when we use SNAT for outbond .For an example if i am using SNAT where we need to loadbalance DNS servers which uses outbond SNAT to resolve DNS query .you can use snatpool instead of only one translation address.
