F5 Application Delivery Fundamentals — Question 29
Which three statements are true about SNATs? (Choose three.)
Answer options
- A. SNAT s provide bidirectional traffic initiation.
- B. SNAT s support UDP, TCP, and ICMP traffic.
- C. SNAT s provide a many-to-one mapping between IP addresses.
- D. SNAT addresses can be identical to virtual server IP addresses.
Correct answer: B, C
Explanation
The correct answers B and C highlight that SNATs indeed support multiple protocols and allow for a many-to-one IP mapping. Option A is incorrect because SNATs do not facilitate bidirectional traffic initiation; they primarily handle outbound connections. Option D is also incorrect as SNAT addresses are typically distinct from virtual server IPs to avoid conflicts.
