Subnet configuration for Snat Pool/Snat

Hi,

 

 

I need to configure an Snat Pool and Snat to translate a whole subnet including the network address and broadcast address the external networks are 200.166.92.128/25 and 201.15.234.128/25, the internal network is 172.23.180.128/25, the translations always correspond to the last octect, ex:

 

 

200.166.92.128 --> 172.23.180.128

 

201.16.234.128 --> 172.23.180.128

 

 

On the Snat Pool configuration the member list do not accept subnets, only hosts, but when I'll configure the Snat I can specify a network.

 

 

If I create a Snat Pool with all the hosts in this subnet and then create a Snat with the addres list for the whole 172.23.180.128/25, will the translation work for all ips according to the last octect? or I'll have to configure one by one?

 

 

Thanks!

    Hi Felipe,

    You'd need to use an iRule for this. You could basically check in CLIENT_ACCEPTED to see if the client IP (IP::client_addr) is in a datagroup of source IP address/networks to SNAT. You could then apply the SNAT using logic like this: 

    when CLIENT_ACCPTED {

    Check if client IP is in address datagroup of allowed source addresses
   if { [class match [IP::client_addr] equals allowed_snat_clients_class] }{

       Take the last octet of the client IP and use that for the SNAT address
      snat "172.23.180.[getfield [IP::client_addr] . 4]"
   }
}

    Note that you don't need to define any SNAT object to use this iRule.

    Hi hoolio,

     

     

    Good to know there is a way to do it, I'll have to study iRules a little bit, as I don't have time this occasion, I'll configure one by one.

     

     

    Thankyou very much.
