SNAT CONFiuration

Hi,

 

 

I really confuse with SNAT regarding config. i know it change Source address. but config little confuse somet time

 

 

theee 2 way i saw config

 

First--

 

I select in pool SNAT and in virtual server "NONE"

 

 

here is connection entry.

 

 

show sys connection cs-server-addr x.x.x.x with this I see only three column

 

 

CLEINT source address Virtual server ip member of pool

 

 

WITH THIS FIRST CONFIG >>>> SNAT WORKS ?

 

Second --

 

I select in POOL SNAT and in virtual server i select "SNAT AUTOMAP" with this i see Four column

 

 

 

CLEINT source address Virtual server ip SNAT IP member of pool

 

 

 

1. when should i configure first configuration and when should i configure second config .?

 

2. IF in pool i don't select SNAT and in virtual server i select "SNAT AUTOMAP" will SNAT WORKS ?

 

 

 

 

Thanks & Regards

  • have you seen this article (sol7820)?

     

     

    snat can be used by itself (local traffic > snat > snat list) or configured under virtual server configuration. when configuring both, snat under virtual server will take precedence. however, when snat list is configured but no snat is configured under virtual server, snat list will also be applied.
