Hi everybody,
Please consier the following :
Below our router is configurde to use NAT for certain traffic, filter based forwarding for some other traffic.
------------f1 MX5-f2-----Egress traffic ( natted)
Focusing on the traffic entering F1:
1)When dealing with MX5, what is the order of operation between NAT policy and filter based forwarding i.e which one is checked first?
Focusing on the Traffic entering F2
2)When dealing with MX5, what is the order of operation between NAT policy anf filter based forwarding i.e which one is checked first? ( for example in Cisco NAT table is checked first to determine if the traffic is return traffic previosuly natted before any Policy based routing is checked)
3) Does SRX follow the same order with regard to NAT and Filter based forwarding ( Cisco's equivalent of Policy based routing ?
Thanks and have a nice weeekend!!
