QuestionQ12

Apply procedural concepts required to modify and manage virtual servers

A BIG-IP Administrator observes the following log entry after users report problems connecting to a virtual server:

01010201:2: Inet port exhaustion on 10.70.110.112  
to 192.28.123.250:80 (proto 6)

How should the BIG-IP Administrator change the SNAT pool associated with the virtual server?

Explanation

SNAT port exhaustion means that the available TCP source-port translations for a SNAT address have been consumed for the relevant destination. Adding an IP address to the SNAT pool supplies another source-address range of ports, increasing the number of concurrent translations available. F5 documents log message 01010201 as an Inet port-exhaustion condition.
