F5 as NAT device

HI All,   we have a deployment where F5 will be use as NAT device to replace a router. Im thinking what is the best practice for this, use route domain of just use vlan?     Thanks!   ...

OK, thanks. So what are you thinking, configure a VLAN on the F5 to be the 'outside' replacement for the router? I presume the F5 already has a leg into your internal network or whatever? So, if that's the case you'll need a network wildcard VS for the outside and inside VLANs and a dedicated SNAT Pool for each. Shouldn't be too hard but please confirm before I get into the nitty gritty.
