    Cisco IOS Network Address Translation (NAT) translates private IP addresses to public, registered addresses allowing private networks to communicate over the public internet. There are several types of NAT including static NAT, which maps private addresses to public addresses in a 1:1 ratio, dynamic NAT which maps private addresses to public addresses from a pool in a many:1 ratio, and PAT which maps multiple private addresses to a single public address using different port numbers in a many:1 ratio. NAT allows sharing of public IP addresses, easier network expansion, greater local control and security, and is transparent to applications and users.

    Network Address Translation


    Naveen Patel
    Cisco IOS Network Address Translation (NAT) is mechanisms for conserving
    registered IP addresses in large networks, and they also simplify IP addressing
    tasks.
    NAT translate IP addresses within private internal networks to legal IP addresses for
    transport over public external networks such as the Internet without requiring a
    registered subnet address.

    Problems with IPv4
    Shortage of IPv4 addresses
    Allocation of the last IPv4 addresses was for the year 2005
    Address classes were replaced by usage of CIDR, but this is not sufficient
    Short term solution
    NAT: Network Address Translator
    Long term solution
    IPv6 = IPng (IP next generation)
    Provides an extended address range
    Naveen Patel
    Private IP addresses

    10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255
    172.16.0.0- 172.31.255.255
    192.168.0.0 -192.168.255.255

    NAT terminology

    Inside local address
    Inside global address
    Outside local address
    Outside global address


    Naveen Patel
    Inside local address: The IPv4 address that is assigned to a host on the inside network.
    The inside local address is likely not an IPv4 address assigned by the Network
    Information Center or service provider.

    Inside global address: A legitimate IPv4 address assigned by the NIC or service provider
    that represents one or more inside local IPv4 addresses to the outside world.

    Outside local address: The IPv4 address of an outside host as it appears to the inside
    network. Not necessarily legitimate, the outside local address is allocated from a
    routable address space on the inside.

    Outside global address: The IPv4 address that is assigned to a host on the outside
    network by the host owner. The outside global address is allocated from a globally
    routable address or network space.

    Address Translation Types

    Static Address Translation.
    Dynamic Address Translation,
    Port Address Translation (PAT)

    Naveen Patel
    Static NAT: Maps an unregistered IPv4 address to a registered IPv4 address (one
    to one). Static NAT is particularly useful when a device must be accessible
    from outside the network.

    Dynamic NAT: Maps an unregistered IPv4 address to a registered IPv4 address
    from a group of registered IPv4 addresses.

    PAT : Maps multiple unregistered IPv4 addresses to a single registered IPv4
    address (many to one) by using different ports.

    Naveen Patel
    Static NAT
    With static NAT, a manual translation is performed by an
    address translation device, translating one IP address to a different one.

    Naveen Patel
    Naveen Patel
    Dynamic NAT
    With dynamic NAT, you must manually define two sets of addresses on your address translation
    device. One set defines which inside addresses are allowed to be translated (the local
    addresses), and the other defines what these addresses are to be translated to (the global
    addresses).


    Naveen Patel
    Port Address Translation (PAT)
    PAT allows you to translate multiple internal addresses into a single external address,
    essentially allowing the internal addresses to share one external address.


    Naveen Patel

    PAT uses unique source port numbers on the inside global IPv4 address to distinguish
    between translations. Because the port number is encoded in 16 bits, the total
    number of internal sessions that NAT can translate into one external address is,
    theoretically, as many as 65,536.

    Advantages of NAT

    Public IP Address Sharing
    Easier Expansion
    Greater Local Control
    Greater Flexibility In ISP Service
    Increased Security
    Transparent
    Naveen Patel
    Disadvantages of NAT

    Complexity
    Compatibility Problems With Certain Applications
    Problems With Security Protocols
    Performance Reduction

    Naveen Patel
    Summary

    Cisco IOS NAT allows an organization with unregistered private addresses to
    connect to the Internet by translating those addresses into globally registered IP
    addresses.
    You can translate your own IP addresses into globally unique IP addresses when
    communicating outside of your network.
    Overloading 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, known also as PAT.
