set SNAT Pool to "AutoMap" with iControl?

Hi folks,     I'm using iControl from java trying to create a simple, standard virtual server. Everything works fine except for the SNAT Pool being set to "None" which prevens web traffic flow. ...

Hi Roman,

 

 

The "Allow SNAT" and "Allow NAT" options for the pool control whether a SNAT or NAT rule under Local Traffic > SNATs (or NATs) should be applied to pool member connections. The virtual server "SNAT pool" option controls whether packets destined for a pool member should be automapped to a self-IP, SNAT'd to a SNAT pool address, or left alone (the "none" option). I personally don't mess with the "Allow SNAT" and "Allow NAT" options very often.
