Nimbostratusevaluating Automap port usage
One drawback of using Automap is source TCP port exhaustion. Is there a convenient way to view the "high water mark" for Automap source port usage for a specific self IP address?
Same way I guess. Aggregating the connection count via SNMP on the server side VLAN.
But a SNAT pool can contain multiple IP's while automap only uses the floating IP of the VLAN facing the server, so I reckon it's better to add enough SNAT Pool members to be sure that you never have to care.
But if you want a simple way of ensuring that you don't run out you could use the server side connection count item in the F5 SNMP library and monitor that.
