IP Pools

IP Pools

IP pools are a mechanism that allow sessions leaving the FortiProxy unit to use NAT. An IP pool defines a single IP address or a range of IP addresses to be used as the source address for the duration of a session. These assigned addresses are used instead of the IP address assigned to that FortiProxy interface.

To see which IP pools are configured, go to Policy & Objects > IP Pools.

Hover over the leftmost edge of the column heading to display the Configure Table icon, which you can use to select the columns to display or to reset all the columns to their default settings. You can also drag column headings to change their order.

The following options are available:

Create New
