SNAT and NAT precedence

Hi Piotr,

 

I have no idea, why the documentation discusses the specific subject.

 

A NAT configuration works bi-directional:

 

- traffic to the NAT (incoming) will be forwarded to the "Origin" by applying destination address translation

 

- traffic from the "Origin" (outgoing) will be forwarded to target and source address translation is applied

 

Where is the use case to combine a SNAT with a NAT?

 

Whenever possible I avoid to create so called Default SNATs (aka SNAT List entries). Instead I´m using virtual servers to forward traffic and apply SNAT as SNAT AutoMap / SNATpool as property of the virtual server or via iRule.

 

Thanks, Stephan

 

Hi,

 

Well, I have as well no idea why it's presented that way in mentioned SOL. I can't figure out scenario for SNAT-NAT precedence. I was just curious why there is such example when there is no way to create object with same origin IP. I am just learning LTM so sometimes I don't know if it's my lack of knowledge and experience or info in SOL is just plain wrong or my version of TMOS has some bug. Anyway, thanks for reply.

Great there are people having time to answer novice questions like mine!
