Hi,

 

 

Snat, regardless of context of inbound/outbound will perform source address translation of the source IP address when LTM establishes the egress connection. The first VIP (kmportal_time_vs) doesn't use SNAT explicitly while the second VIP (pptp_time_vs) does use a SNAT pool. You could still have a default SNAT defined which would take effect for the first VIP.

 

 

Does this answer your questions?
