Hide NAT rule creating two rules automatically | No NAT

Firewall_Head — Mon, 20 Jan 2025 14:34:47 GMT

Dear Checkmates,

When I enable NAT for a NW object, it creates two rules one which acts a SRC NAT and another one which isn't making any sense to me.

Can someone throw some light on this.

I have attached a snap for your reference.

The first rule ensures traffic that originates from QOS_NET destined for QOS_NET is NOT translated (a "NO NAT" rule).
This would be necessary if QOS_NET is attached directly to the gateway to ensure traffic originating from the gateway does not get translated per the second rule.

This is expected behavior.
