Create outbound load-balancing NAT rules

If you manually configured Outbound Multi-Link elements, define NAT rules using the source NAT addressing defined in the Outbound Multi-Link element.

Note: When you use element-based NAT, NAT rules are automatically generated.

You can create several Outbound Multi-Link elements to balance different types of traffic differently. Only the part of traffic that matches a NAT rule with the Outbound Multi-Link element is balanced between different links.

Some protocols cannot use dynamic NAT based on IP/port translation. To provide high availability and load balancing for these protocols, you can use static NAT with an Outbound Multi-Link element in an outbound load-balancing NAT rule. When static NAT is used, the size of the source network must be the same as the size of the Multi-Link network.
