Virtual IP (VIP): extintf vs srcintf-filter
Hi everyone,
From the 5.6 docs:
extintf: Interface connected to the source network that receives the packets that will be forwarded to the destination network srcintf-filter: Interfaces to which the VIP applies. Separate the names with spaces.
Quite similar definitions. From a practical standpoint however it seems like extintf is used for configuration purposes namely to define if the VIP can be used in a policy, while srcintf-filter is used to actual decide whether a DNAT is applied or not.
Is this correct or am I missing something?
Thank you in advance.
