EmployeeIs it normal to use SNAT pool command, as if i'm correct is used to change the source address of the client. yes, it is.
is it being used for the same purpose? it is also used to force return traffic coming to bigip before sending back to client since source address is translated to bigip selfip when sending request to pool member (server). this is needed because pool member's default gateway might not be bigip. so, return traffic will go to client directly.
