Will there source port conflict if the SNAT address same as one of the health monitor src-ip?
Hello Everyone
I have stalone bigip device,Selfip is 192.168.1.1. VS associated to SNAT Configration is Automap. This means using Selfip for health check and SNAT.
Will there any source port conflict if the SNAT address same as one of the health monitor source ip?
Thanks D.Luo

Hello,
You won't run into any problems with this setup until you reach 65k concurrently opened server-side connections from that same Source IP address TO the same Destination Host IP. That's A LOT, and very hard to breach. If that happens, you will have TCP source-port exhaustion problem (will be reported in /var/log/ltm).
To address this problem, you can switch out from SNAT Automap and opt to use SNAT Pools instead; alternatively look into other optimizations such as OneConnect for HTTP services.
