SNAT Pool members from directly connected network
Hi,
In SNAT Pool creation manual we can read:
4. For the Member List setting:
a. In the IP Address field, type an IP address.
The BIG-IP system uses this address as a SNAT translation address.
Important: This address must NOT be on a directly-connected network.
b. Click Add.
c. Repeat these steps for each IP address that you want to include in the SNAT pool.
Could someone explain this "Important" note to me ? I almost always use addresses from directly connected egress vlans and it works fine. Now I've found this note and I'm confused. Is it because of my misunderstanding of "directly connected"?
