SNAT pool and persistence

Hi all!

 

 

I have a LTM-setup (10.0.1) with a SNAT Pool containing 5 ip addresses. So each connection uses the next SNAT address (round robin).

 

 

But for persistent connections (source persistence), i'd like the LTM to use always the same SNAT address, and not to change it during the session. Otherwise some of my applications have problems with session management...

 

 

Is there a way to configure the SNAT pool in a way that persistent connection always keep their SNAT address?

 

 

Thanking you in anticipation, regards

 

Marc

    Hi Mark,

     

     

    Do you think mapping the source IP address to a SNAT IP would work for you (assign 1/x IP addresses to one SNAT IP)? If so, I can put together an example. Else, the UIE session persistence method would take a bit longer to give an example for.
