NAT process for self-originated traffic

[aaeaa86f-2079-4]

Hi,

Does the traffic generated by the Security Gateways gets NATted or is NAT only applied to traffic traversing the appliances? 

[Timothy_Hall · Accepted solution]

Only the source IP address of traffic originated from the gateway itself may be NATted, since that traffic will only pass through inspection points oO where source NAT operations occur.  Destination NAT occurs between iI which will never see or handle gateway-originated traffic.  Traffic originated from the gateway and traffic whose destination IP address is an interface of the gateway itself will never be handled by SecureXL, and will always go F2F/slowpath.

While that makes sense, I don't think I knew that.

Although practice learns this does not work on Embedded GAIA.

That is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!
