But the policies will remain in the memory of the unit. So, once the Central SNAT is enabled again, the SNAT policies will be found again without any removal or changes from the system.


Disabling the Central SNAT feature will not delete the SNAT policies, but as the feature will be unavailable, the policies will be hidden.
