Maintain the Src IP while SNATing to multiple pools

All, Apologies if this is answered here already -- I looked for a while and could not find it, but please directly to that thread if appropriate. I have BigIP...

Hi Scott,

 

 

Do you want to apply the source address translation based on source IP no matter which VIP the client makes a request to? Or do you want to apply the SNAT only to a specific VIP?

 

 

For the former, you can create a standard SNAT with a list of origin addresses which will get mapped to a single translation address (or a pool of addresses using a SNAT pool). Or for the latter case, if you want to apply a specific translation address to specific client addresses on a particular VIP, you'd need to use an iRule to specify which source addresses to apply the SNAT for. The non-iRule SNAT option on the VIP would apply to all client connections.

 

 

You can get details on these options in the LTM config guide:
