NimbostratusHi, I would like to know that if I want to use LTM 4200v just for Natting is it possible? I don't want to do any load balancing as this is the only one server. Do I still have to create VIP and nodes? What other things I have to care about?
Thanks!!
Employeeyou mean destination nat, don't you? is there server-initiated traffic?
if no, you may use virtual server and pool with one member.
if yes, you can use nat list (i.e. no need to create virtual server and pool).
generally, there are 3 type of object listeners; virtual server, snat and nat. virtual server is destination listener object. snat is source listener object. nat creates both source and destination listener object.

NimbostratusIt will be a destination IP nat. There will be no traffic initiated from server. Can I use nat list (i.e. no need to create virtual server and pool)?
EmployeeCan I use nat list (i.e. no need to create virtual server and pool)?
yes, you can but nat will also create source listener, so server-initiated traffic will be allowed.
