panos_nat_policy - create a policy NAT rule

New in version 2.3.

DEPRECATED

In 2.4 use panos_nat_rule instead.

Synopsis

  • Create a policy nat rule. Keep in mind that we can either end up configuring source NAT, destination NAT, or both. Instead of splitting it into two we will make a fair attempt to determine which one the user wants.
