NAT the clientside?

We have an LTM 9.4.7 and we wanted to replace our reverse proxy layer with the F5. We are trying to configure NAT for the clientside. Essentially we would like all connections from the client get NAT'd to a routable address on the inside of our DMZ. I see lot of options not sure where to begin. Thx!

  • You could create a snatpool with the 10.0.1.100 (and the 10.0.1.101 if you are concerned about tcp port exhaustion) and apply it to your EXT VIP.
