<title>Configurable external gateway modes extension</title>
<para>By default, when a gateway is attached to a router using the
Neutron L3 extension, Network Address Translation (NAT) is
enabled for traffic generated by subnets attached to the
router. With this extension, the user will have the option of
choosing whether SNAT should be enabled or not on a router
basis.</para>
<para>This is achieved simply by specifying a boolean attribute,
<literal>enable_snat</literal>, in the
<literal>external_gateway_info</literal> attribute of the
<literal>router</literal> resource.</para>
<para>This extension redefines the external_gateway_info attribute
as depicted in the following table.</para>

extension.</para>
<para>Neutron API users can enable or disable SNAT on a router
specifying the <literal>enable_snat</literal> attribute in
the <literal>external_gateway_info</literal> attribute for
the router resource. This operation can be either used for
updating the SNAT status only, the external network, or
both attributes at the same time. In any case, if the
<literal>enable_snat</literal> attribute is not
specified, it will default to <literal>True</literal>. For
instance, if the current SNAT status is disabled, and the
router's gateway is updated to a different external
network without specifying <literal>enable_snat</literal>,
SNAT will be enabled for the new network.</para>
<para>It is important to note that whenever updating a
router's external gateway information, the
<literal>network_id</literal>parameter must be
specified always, even if the final goal is just to enable
or disable SNAT for the router on the same external
network.</para>
<para>The rest of this section provides some samples for
updating a router's external gateway info with SNAT
mode.</para>
