Address translation: SNATs, NATs, and IP forwarding
BIG-IP® Reference Guide 4 - 127
•When the equivalent of a default SNAT, that is, a SNAT that continues
to work in the event of a failure in one BIG-IP, is required for BIG-IP
units in active-active mode. (The conventional default SNAT does not
work in active-active mode.)
Adding an automapped default SNAT
The BIG-IP allows you to take advantage of the SNAT automapping feature
when adding a default SNAT. When you add a default SNAT, you are
enabling the BIG-IP to map every node on the internal network to a default
translation address. With the automapping feature, you do not need to define
a specific translation address to which all nodes on the network will be
mapped.
To add the automapped default SNAT using the
Configuration utility
1. In the navigation pane, click NATs.
The NATs screen displays.
2. Click the SNATs tab.
3. Click the Add Default button.
The Add Default SNAT screen opens.
4. Click the Automap button.
5. Click Done.
To add the automapped default SNAT from the command
line
To add a default SNAT using the automapping feature, type the bigpipe
snat command as follows:
b snat map default to auto
Note
A default SNAT cannot be added for an active-active configuration. For
more information, see Adding automapped SNATs for active-active
configurations, on page 4-129.
Adding automapped SNATs for standard (active-standby) configurations
When enabling SNAT automapping for VLANs, the BIG-IP handles the
SNATs in the following ways:
• If you create a SNAT on an internal VLAN, a SNAT is performed on any
connection made from that VLAN.
•If you enable snat automap on a single self IP address, the translation
address is that self IP address.
