SNAT from Health Monitor

kaj0103

Hello

First time posting here and new to A10..... hopefully I'm within guidelines :-)

I'm currently trialing the 4.1.4 P10 software in our lab and can't get the real servers to come up. The reason is, the real servers are UAT servers in the prod network but the ADC is in our lab, where the IP's are not routable from prod.

The real servers are not coming up because the monitor is being sourced from the lab ADC so they can't be routed to from where the servers are. If the traffic from the monitor was nat'd to a certain range then it would be fine.

Is there a way I can make all of the health monitors source from a SNAT? I want to avoid nat on the firewall in this case.

Thanks

You can configure the Thunder ADC to perform source NAT using a NAT pool.

Here is a sample configuration snippet from A10's ACOS Application Delivery Controller Guide:

ACOS(config)# ip nat pool dmz1 192.0.2.200 192.0.2.200 netmask /24 
!
ACOS(config)# slb virtual-server webvip1 192.0.2.10 
ACOS(config-slb vserver)# port 80 http 
ACOS(config-slb vserver-vport)# source-nat pool dmz1 
ACOS(config-slb vserver-vport)# service-group wbgroup1 
ACOS(config-slb vserver-vport)# exit

Please refer to this guide for more details and a complete working example.
