Usage Syntax
bigpipe snat name [options]
Common options include;
- mirror [enable | disable] - enable or disable connection mirror between peers in a HA pair
- automap - create an automap SNAT (traffic will be NATted using the IP address of the BigIP interface it leaves through.)
- origin ip_address(es) (mask netmask) [add | delete] - specify origin (or original) source addresses that will be NATted by this SNAT
- translation ip_address - specify the translation IP address, the address the origin source address is NATted to
- snatpool pool_name - specify a SNAT pool that will be used for translation addresses (thus automap and translation cannot be used in conjunction with this option.)
- vlans [name(s) | all] [enable | disable] - specify VLANs this SNAT will be enabled or disabled on (relative to the VLANs origin addresses will arrive from/on.) The default is all
- [name | all] stats - display statistics for all or the specified SNAT
- [name | all] stats reset - reset or clear statistics for all or the specified SNAT

Bigpipe Usage Notes
Don't forget to save your changes using the bigpipe save all command.
Note in most cases, the show keyword displays object status or statistics, the list keyword displays configuration.
The bigpipe command can be abbreviated to just b (e.g. b help instead of bigpipe help.) Alternatively, (from v9.4,) you can use the bigpipe shell to enter commands without prefixing them with bigpipe.
Where curly or normal brackets {} or () or quotes "" or exclamation mark ! are required as part of a command and you are not using the bigpipe shell, they must be proceeded with a back slash \ to prevent the bash shell from parsing them as system commands.
