Client (10.10.10.10) to F5 Load Balancer (20.20.20.20) to Server (30.30.30.30)

 

 

When SNAT is Enabled the Server will never see the Client IP Address. All incoming traffic to the Server appear to be coming from the F5 Load Balancer (20.20.20.20) and all responses to the Client also appear to be coming from the F5 Load Balancer as well.

 

 

I wouldn't try translating it into Ingress and Egress since you are talking about two seperate conversations from the perspective of the F5 (Client to F5 - Ingress/Egress and F5 to Server - Ingress/Egress).

 

 

Does this make more sense?
