DESCRIPTION
       A network address translation (NAT) defines a mapping between an originating IP address and an IP address that
       you specify.

       A primary reason for defining a NAT is to allow one of the servers in the server array behind the traffic
       management system to start communication with a computer in front of, or external to, the system.

EXAMPLES
       create nat new_nat translation-address 10.0.140.100 originating-address 11.0.0.100

       The node behind the system with the IP address 10.0.140.100 has a presence in front of the BIG-IP(r) System as
       IP address 11.0.0.100.

       delete nat new_nat

       Permanently deletes the NAT from the system configuration.

Additional Restrictions
       The nat component has the following additional restrictions:

       ·    A virtual server cannot use the IP address specified in the NAT.

       ·    A NAT should not use an IP address of a BIG-IP system.

       ·    A NAT cannot use an originating or translated IP address defined for and used by a SNAT or another NAT.

       ·    You must delete a NAT before you can redefine it.

OPTIONS
       app-service
	    Specifies the name of the application service to which the NAT belongs. The default value is none. Note:
	    If the strict-updates option is enabled on the application service that owns the object, you cannot
	    modify or delete the NAT. Only the application service can modify or delete the NAT.

       arp  Enables or disables Address Resolution Protocol (ARP).

       description
	    User defined description.

       [enabled | disabled]
	    Enables or disables the NAT. The default value is enabled.

       glob Displays the items that match the glob expression. See help glob for a description of glob expression
	    syntax.

       inherited-traffic-group
	    Indicates if the traffic-group is inherited from the parent folder. This property is read only.

       originating-address
	    Specifies the IP address from which traffic is being initiated.

       regex
	    Displays the items that match the regular expression. The regular expression must be preceded by an at
	    sign (@[regular expression]) to indicate that the identifier is a regular expression. See help regex for
	    a description of regular expression syntax.

       traffic-group
	    Specifies the traffic group of the failover device group on which the NAT is active. The default traffic
	    group is inherited from the containing folder.

       translation-address
	    Specifies the IP address that is translated or mapped, and the IP address to which it is translated or
	    mapped. This option is required when creating a NAT. This option may not be changed after the nat has
	    been created.

       unit Specifies the unit in a redundant system. Derived from traffic-group. This property is read only.

       vlans
	    Specifies a list of existing VLANs on which access to the NAT is enabled or disabled. A NAT is accessible
	    on all VLANs by default.

       vlans-disabled
	    Indicates the NAT is disabled on the list of VLANs.

       vlans-enabled
	    Indicates the NAT is enabled on the list of VLANs.
