[solved] Lost outbound NAT rules on 26.1.11 upgrade

If you have manual rules to migrate then you will set hybrid or manual, but that is already set for your use case.

If you don't have manual rules nothing needs to be migrated.

Sorry Franco.....

I *already* migrated my rules from Outbound NAT to SNAT (At which point Outbound NAT was set to Hybrid)

Once I migrated them to SNAT, I changed outbound NAT back to Automatic.

Is this what I should be doing, or should I change Outbound NAT to something else before upgrading?

EDIT: Figured it out. Set it back to Hybrid after reading the release notes properly :)

Think of two admins both managing a set of rules.

You can only migrate outbound NAT manual(or "hybrid") rules. You don't seem to have any. There's nothing to migrate. Automatic rules are automatic and come from the same place for both components just for visibility.

Ironically, this is what Patrick was telling me but it didn't fully click last night.

I do have manual rules actually, but I guess the migration option might have been hidden from me because my Outbound NAT rules were still set to Automatic before I upgraded.  I should have reverted the upgrade, then changed to hybrid, then upgraded again.  Instead I reverted, changed to hybrid, for some reason deleted the manual rules (mistake), then upgraded and manually re-entered them. 

Apparently sleep does wonders for comprehension  :)

Thanks again
