RFC 1918 addresses
An RFC 1918 address is an address that is within the range of non-routable
addresses described in the IETF RFC 1918.
Round Robin mode
Round Robin mode is a static load balancing mode that bases connection
distribution on a set server order. Round Robin mode sends a connection
request to the next available server in the order.
self IP address
Self IP addresses are the IP addresses owned by the BIG-IP that you use to
access the internal and external VLANs.
send string
A send string is the request that the BIG-IP sends to the web server during
an extended content verification (ECV) health check.
service
Service refers to services such as TCP, UDP, HTTP, and FTP.
Setup utility
The Setup utility walks you through the initial system configuration process.
You can run the Setup utility from either the command line or the
Configuration utility start page.
SNAT (Secure Network Address Translation)
A SNAT is a feature you can configure on the BIG-IP. A SNAT defines a
routable alias IP address that one or more nodes can use as a source IP
address when making connections to hosts on the external network.
SNAT automap
This feature allows the BIG-IP to perform a SNAT automatically on any
connection that is coming from the unit’s internal VLAN. It is easier to use
than traditional SNATs, and solves certain problems associated with the
traditional SNAT.
SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
SNMP is the Internet standard protocol, defined in STD 15, RFC 1157,
developed to manage nodes on an IP network.
source processing
Source processing means that the interface rewrites the source of an
incoming packet.
