Objective: Verify The Functionality of NAT and Its Impact On Internet Access. Topology
Topology:
Static NAT
Dynhamic NAT
PAT
The practical exercise will use the same topology as the laboratory example.
Tasks:
1. Access a website from one of the PCs with a private IP address.
I used the IP address that was translated to access the website, as seen in the picture:
2. Verify NAT translation on the router using appropriate commands.
The NAT Translation on Routers 2 and 3 is seen here:
3. Discuss observations and insights regarding NAT's role in enabling internet access for
devices with private IP addresses.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is pivotal in facilitating internet connectivity for
devices utilizing private IP addresses. Functioning as an intermediary, NAT seamlessly
bridges private and public networks by converting private IP addresses into a unified
public IP address.
