NAT (Network Address Translation)
A NAT is an alias IP address that identifies a specific node managed by the
BIG-IP to the external network.
node
A node is a specific combination of an IP address and port (service) number
associated with a server in the array that is managed by the BIG-IP.
node address
A node address is the IP address associated with one or more nodes. This IP
address can be the real IP address of a network server, or it can be an alias IP
address on a network server.
node alias
A node alias is a node address that the BIG-IP uses to verify the status of
multiple nodes. When the BIG-IP uses a node alias to check node status, it
pings the node alias. If the BIG-IP receives a response to the ping, it marks
all nodes associated with the node alias as up. If the BIG-IP does not receive
a response to the ping, the it marks all nodes associated with the node alias
as down.
node port
A node port is the port number or service name that is hosted by a specific
node.
node status
Node status indicates whether a node is up and available to receive
connections, or down and unavailable. The BIG-IP uses the node ping and
health check features to determine node status.
non-cacheable content
Non-cacheable content is content that is not identified in the cacheable
content condition part of a cache rule statement.
non-transparent cache server
Cache servers that can receive requests that are destined for the cache
servers themselves are called non-transparent cache servers.
