Statement introduced in Junos OS Release 9.0.

Description

Configure a hint that enables the border gateway function (BGF) to choose a NAT pool by direction rather than by virtual interface. The BGF matches the configured hint with a termination hint located in the Direction field of a nonstandard termination ID.

Default

When no hint is configured, the BGF can choose any NAT pool associated with the virtual interface.

Options

hint-string—Alphanumeric string of up to three characters that the BGF uses to match with a termination hint located in the Direction field of a nonstandard termination ID. You can also include underscores (_) and hyphens (-) within the string. To specify a list of hints, use the format: [ hint xx hint yy ].
