AltostratusSNAT-AutoMap , IP Enforcer & AXR
CirrocumulusWell, for SNAT:
Automap basically means that the system will translate the source address from the clients original address to a floating IP on the BIG-IP. It will pick a floating IP over a non floating one even if the non floating one is in the correct subnet, so make sure you have a floating in the correct subnet to reach your backend servers.
SNAT without automap basically means that the system will SNAT to a POOL of IP addresses that you have configured.
NONE means that the system will not translate the clients source IP address. That can cause asynchronous routing if the BIG-IP is not the default gateway for your backend servers.
Hope that helps! If it does please up-vote and select this answer, it'd be greatly appreciated!

Altostratus@ Dylan,
As Understand,
Automap - If Client actual IP is 10.10.100.99 and F5 Floating IP is 172.16.100.1. Then on respective pool members hits will be visible from source 172.16.100.1 (which is Floating IP). It is correct ?
How AutomAp and Xforwarder rule can be distinguish then ?
Requesting if you can clear SNAT (2nd reply, If we select SNAT from drop down list) with an example.
For None - In our case BIG-IP is not the default gateway of any pool member, Gateway is our Spine(Core Switch) even BIG-IP floating IP gateway is also Spine/Core Switch . How does this impact.
