Ping -I sourced from snat pool member

Hello,

 

I want to ask if I can ping, using the -I option, from an snat pool member address?

 

ping [destination address] -I [source address(snat pool member)]

Thank you in advance, Kai

  • Having just tried this, the short answer is no. You can select a self IP, but selecting a SNATPool member will result in a bind error.

     

    Self IPs must also be non floating self IPs.

     

    So you must use a local non shared resource for pinging.
