CirrusHi,
There is none because all traffic is NAT-ed behind the Self IP or IP from a SNAT Pool. If you have a simple setup a Lease Pool is not neccesary and you can use Automap or a SNAT Pool.
If you have a more complex setup or specific protocols, disable SNAT and use a Lease Pool. Below a remark from the F5 website:
To support CIFS/SMB and VoIP protocols, select None and configure routable IP addresses in the lease pool
Reagrds, Martijn.
