Network Address Translation

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows mapping of an internal IP address to an external IP address. This conserves public IP addresses. NAT provides private networks access to the public internet. There are three main types of NAT: static NAT maps one internal address to one external in a 1:1 ratio, dynamic NAT maps many internal addresses to a pool of external addresses in a many:1 ratio, and NAT overload maps multiple internal addresses to one external address using ports in a many:1 ratio. The Cisco IOS commands can be used to configure, display, and clear NAT translations.

Network Address Translation

NAT
Objective

• Upon completing this lesson, you will be able


to:
– Configure the NAT: Static ,Overload and Dynamic

– Use the Cisco IOS command to identify the NAT

– Troubleshoot the NAT


What is NAT?
• NAT is a protocol that gives you the ability
to map an inside IP Address used in the
local network environment to the outside
network environment.

• NAT is used in our Internetwork to save


the space of the registered ip address.
Benefit of NAT
• Enabling a private IP network to use non-
registered IP addresses to access an outside
network such as the Internet
• You need to connect to the Internet and your
hosts don’t have enough public IP addresses.
• Translating internal IP addresses assigned by old
Internet Service Providers ( ISPs ) to a new ISP’s
without manually configuring the local network
interface .
NAT Terminology
Before continuing with this chapter, you should
be familiar with the following CISCO terms:

• Inside network : This is the set of network


addresses that is subject to translation . The IP
addresses used within the network are invalid on
an outside network, such as the Internet or the
network’s ISP
NAT Terminology
• Outside network : This is a network that is
not affiliated or owned by the inside
network organization . This can be the
network of another company when two
companies merge but typically is the
network of an Internet Service Provider (
ISP ) The addresses used on this network
are legally registered IP addresses.
Static ,Overload and Dynamic NAT
• Static NAT
This type of NAT is designed to allow one
to-one mapping between local and global
addresses.
Configure the Static NAT
• Define the Interface
– Mark the Interface connect to the inside

– Mark the Interface connect to the outside

– Establish the NAT translation between an


inside address and outside address.
Example of Static NAT
Dynamic NAT
• This version gives you the ability to map
an unregistered IP address to a registered
IP address from the pool of registered IP
addresses.
Configure Dynamic NAT
Example of Dynamic NAT
NAT Overloading (PAT)
• overloading really is a form of dynamic NAT
that maps multiple unregistered IP
addresses to a single registered IP address
many-to-one—by using different ports.
Configure NAT overloading
Display and Clear the NAT Information

Displays active translations

Displays translation statistics
