> I don't see an issue, except maybe lack of functionality for a user. Why would a user want a network without sourcenat? what would they do in it? no access to internet from VMs they create in it...? I have no issue with allowing it, you might want to have a network with only static nat maybe, but otherwise it would be completely useless. @weizhouapache maybe the restriction was added before static nat was available? ..., bit of a strange situation. hi @DaanHoogland , There are some scenarios where User just want IP connectivity between machines and all Machines default route is set to Internal Gateway(Firewall Instance with Public IP) and able to use Internet. These all machines are in Cluster and have multiple Nics , if all use Source Nat based offering then lot of public ips and system vm routers are consumed. if option is given to user to choose no-source nat based network the all this can be achieved with 1 public IP and and 1 system vm router. Note: Currently users are able to create no-source Nat based network via API . they just don't get the option via GUI. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
