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!   ...

Yes a NAT is bi-directional (perhaps it needs to be enabled on the relevant VLANs though, can't remember)

 

 

Regarding the SNAT, you would need two as you have now, one for each direction and only one side could initiate; no different to how it would work on the Cisco router.
