I agree, C makes sense. We need more IPs available.

I think option C is the best. More addresses can help with the exhaustion.

Definitely need to check the current SNAT pool size first.

Removing the SNAT pool entirely? That could cause more problems.

Not sure if SNAT Automap is the best move here...

Definitely not removing the SNAT pool, that would make it worse!

I feel like SNAT Automap could be a good solution, but I also think adding an address might help too. It's tough to decide!

If I remember correctly, removing an IP from the SNAT pool might free up some ports, but I’m not entirely sure if that’s the best option in this case.

I think I practiced a question like this where increasing the timeout was mentioned, but I can't recall if that actually helps with port exhaustion.

I remember something about SNAT pools and how they can help with port exhaustion, but I'm not sure if adding an address is the right move here.
