Study Notes
Network Address Translation (NAT)
- NAT is a technology that helps conserve IPv4 addresses.
- NAT allows private IP addresses to be used inside a network, and shares a few public IPs for many internal hosts.
- NAT can result in issues for some applications requiring end-to-end connectivity, as it hides the actual IP addresses.
Advantages of NAT
- Provides a solution to slow down IPv4 address depletion.
Disadvantages of NAT
- Introduces problems for some applications that require end-to-end connectivity.
NAT Commands
- show ip nat translations: Displays active NAT translations on a border router.
Configuring Static NAT
- Map inside local to outside local addresses.
- Identify participating interfaces as inside or outside.
Static NAT vs. Dynamic NAT
- A NAT pool is only configured for dynamic NAT implementations, not static NAT.
NAT Concepts
- Inside Global Address: The public IP address used by the NAT router to represent an internal host.
- Static NAT: Translates a single inside IP address to a single public IP address.
- NAT Overload (Dynamic NAT): Uses a pool of public IP addresses for many internal hosts. It is configured using the ip nat inside list command.
NAT Configuration Verification
- Use the show ip nat statistics and show ip nat translations commands to verify NAT is working and troubleshoot associated problems.
- The debug ip nat command can help identify specific issues.
- Check for the standard access list number and NAT pool name used.
- Determine the types of NAT enabled (static and/or overload).
