Snat Issue

Hi Guys,

 

I have an issue in translating the Client Source address to internal node IP Subnet in the F5. Could you please provide some clear idea on how snat works.

 

Regards

  • Seems like you made a re-post, but I'll repeat my answer here as well:

     

    There are multiple ways of translating IP's. If all you want is to translate incoming client source IP's on a particular virtual server I'd recommend using a SNAT pool.

     

    To use a SNAT pool on a virtual server:

     

    Go to the virtual server config page. Change Source Address Translation from "None" to automap, or a custom SNAT Pool that you've create yourself. Note that if you create a SNAT pool yourself it should contain at least one IP in the subnet facing the member servers.
