Study Notes
NAT (Network Address Translation)
- NAT ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is used to translate application layer packets
- NAT Server translates public IP addresses to private IP addresses, allowing internet users to access intranet servers
- NAT is a static destination address translation
AAA (Authentication, Authorization, Accounting)
- AAA is a network security management mechanism
- Authentication determines user network access
- Authorization grants users access to services
- Accounting records resource usage by users
- AAA can be managed locally or through an external server (RADIUS Server)
- AAA uses a user, NAS, and AAA server architecture
- NAS (Network Access Server) centralizes user access requests
- Common NAS devices like switches and firewalls
- AAA server centralizes user information
- Firewalls support several authentication and authorization modes including
- Non-authentication
- Local authentication
- Remote authentication
- Authorization includes user groups, VLANs, and ACLs, restricting services available
- Firewalls support several accounting modes including
- Non-accounting
- Remote accounting
NAT Server Configuration
- Backup modes: automatic and manual
- Automatic backups are triggered when Heartbeat Protocol (HRP) is enabled.
- Manual backups are triggered by the administrator
- Configuration includes quick session backup for load balancing
- Configuration status information includes session table, server map table, blacklist, whitelist, address mapping table, MAC address table, user table, IPSEC SA, and tunnel status
NAT Server Operation
- Heartbeat Protocol (HRP) is enabled by default
- Heartbeat Interface has 5 states (valid, down, peer down, ready, running)
- Preemption delay is 60 seconds
