use rule to configure destination address translation

[blockquote] Disabling NAT on a pool will prevent the source IP addresses of connections load balanced through that pool from being translated by a NAT [/blockquote]

 

 

Not in v9. Disabling NAT on a pool in v9 prevents the destination address from being translated. We probably should have called it "DNAT".

 

 

So, to summarise

 

 

v4.x terminology:

 

 

"SNAT" : "Stateful/Secure" NAT, source address translation.

 

"NAT" : stateless NAT, source address translation.

 

 

v9 terminology:

 

 

"SNAT" : "Source" NAT.

 

"NAT" : Destination NAT.

 

 

All entities in v9 are stateful in the interests of security, unless loose initiations/closes are enabled in the fastL4 profile. (And even then it's stateful under the covers.)
