Problems with NAT

I have this very basic  SNAT configuration.

Screen Shot 2015-10-06 at 11.04.28 PM.png

This ELR is the GW of the subnet 172.31.1.0/24, the VM has an IP address 172.31.1.5. The external IP of the ELR is 192.168.202.37. I can see traffic hitting the ELR but no NAT rule is the table. The following two screenshots are with an extended ping to 1.1.1.1 running in the back.

Any idea, I have tried this in several ways and I don't see why is not working.

Thanks.

Have you tried applying the NAT rule to the 192.168.x.x interface instead of vNic_2? Also is the firewall definitely enabled on the ESG?

You are a genius...:)

I enabled the FW in the ELR and the NAT start working, is that a requirement?

‌Yes - the firewall service must be enabled to NAT on the ESG. :smileycheck:
