    Study Notes

    NAT Configuration Commands

    • Define NAT pool named NAT-POOL2 with IP range 209.165.200.226 to 209.165.200.240 and subnet mask 255.255.255.224.
    • Create an access list (ACL 1) to permit the range 192.168.0.0/16 for NAT translation.
    • Configure NAT to translate inside local addresses from the specified access list using NAT-POOL2 with overload.
    • Specify the interface serial0/1/0 as inside NAT.
    • Specify the same interface as outside NAT for external traffic.

    Packet Analysis in PAT

    • PC1 and PC2 send packets to servers Svr1 and Svr2.
    • First packet from PC1 is processed by R2, changing its source IP to the inside global address 209.165.200.225 before forwarding.
    • PC2's packet reaches R2 next; PAT modifies its source IP to 209.165.200.225.
    • Since PC2 shares the same source port as PC1, PAT increments the port number to ensure uniqueness, e.g., 1445.

    Types of NAT

    Static NAT

    • Establishes a one-to-one mapping of local and global addresses maintained by the network administrator.
    • Useful for servers needing a permanent address accessible from the internet.
    • Requires sufficient public IP addresses to accommodate all simultaneous sessions.

    Dynamic NAT

    • Utilizes a pool of public IP addresses assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
    • When an internal device requests external access, an available IP from the pool is assigned.
    • Like Static NAT, it requires enough public addresses for simultaneous sessions.

    Port Address Translation (PAT)

    • Also known as NAT overload, allowing multiple private IPs to map to a single public IP.
    • Relies on unique source port numbers for each session, enabling differentiation of sessions within the same translated public IP.

    Dynamic NAT Configuration Steps

    • Identify interfaces designated as inside and outside for NAT functionality.
    • Example commands include defining a NAT pool, creating an access list, and specifying NAT settings for interfaces.

    Dynamic NAT Translation Process

    • Upon packet reception from PC1 and PC2 requesting server connections, R2 checks the ACL to determine if translation is needed.
    • First packet from PC1 is identified, and R2 assigns an available global IP from its pool, translating the inside source IP (e.g., 192.168.10.10) to a global address like 209.165.200.226.
    • The same translation occurs for the next PC, with each packet being routed with its new global address.
