Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Verify Connectivity
Part 2: Configure and Verify NAT Pool Overload
Part 3: Configure and Verify PAT
Background / Scenario
In the first part of the lab, your company is allocated the public IP address range of 209.165.200.224/29 by
the ISP. This provides the company with six public IP addresses. Dynamic NAT pool overload uses a pool of
IP addresses in a many-to-many relationship. The router uses the first IP address in the pool and assigns
connections using the IP address plus a unique port number. After the maximum number of translations for a
single IP address have been reached on the router (platform and hardware specific), it uses the next IP

Required Resources
2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable)
1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable)
3 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term)
Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports
g. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting the command entry.

Step 1: Define an access control list that matches the LAN private IP addresses.
ACL 1 is used to allow the 192.168.1.0/24 network to be translated.
Gateway(config)# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
209.165.200.230
Step 3: Define the NAT from the inside source list to the outside pool.
Gateway(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool public_access overload

Note: Depending on how much time has elapsed since you performed the pings from each PC, you may
not see all three translations. ICMP translations have a short timeout value.
How many Inside local IP addresses are listed in the sample output above?
How many Inside global IP addresses are listed?
How many port numbers are used paired with the Inside global addresses?
What would be the result of pinging the Inside local address of PC-A from the ISP router? Why?

Step 4: Remove the NAT translation from inside source list to outside pool.
Gateway(config)# no ip nat inside source list 1 pool public_access overload

Note: To find out how the router is configured, look at the interfaces to identify the type of router and how many
interfaces the router has. There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router
class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device.
The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An
example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be
used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
