Nimbostratusplease tell me what you want to achieve, then I can help you. virtual servers are IP addresses to which client connects to get to the service you are providing (ie. webapplication). you can do snat to get the tcp connection from BIG-IP to server setup with the source ip address of the BIG-IP. NAT is ment for outgoing traffic to internet in general.
Yawei_131024For example, I create a HTTP virtual server: destination address is 192.168.20.100 and service port is 80. The internal server IP is 172.16.1.1. Meanwhile, I create a SNAT that NAT address is 192.168.20.100 and original IP is 172.16.1.1. So, that's the question: 1. How does F5 do if it accept a HTTP connection from client. 2. How does F5 do if it accept a ping from client. Thanks for your reply.- Yawei_131024Sorry, It is a NAT table, does not a SNAT table
