Are open NAT connections maintained upon failover?
I heard someone say by default open NAT connections are maintained when a failover occurs in a HA pair..
I can't find any doc referencing this online.. Any insight?
Thanks!
Ahhh that's exactly what I was missing.. Makes perfect sense now if you think about it... Using NAT on an LTM is one instance where the LTM isn't considered a full proxy... It does not jump in the middle of the connection.. Hence why you don't need to configure a VS etc for a NAT... It's stateless and will forward on the the communication appropriately upon failover.
Thanks for running the tests!
