Zorluk: OrtaInside Source NAT and PAT Configuration and Verification

An enterprise router is configured for dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT) using an IP pool containing four public IP addresses (198.51.100.1198.51.100.1 to 198.51.100.4198.51.100.4). Internal users report that only four devices can access external resources at any given time, and subsequent connection attempts by other hosts fail until an existing session terminates. Which configuration change will allow all internal hosts to share the public IP address pool simultaneously?

  1. Append the overload keyword to the ip nat inside source list pool command.Cevap
  2. B
    Modify the NAT pool address range to use the RFC 1918 block 172.16.10.1 to 172.16.10.254.
  3. C
    Remove the access list parameter and configure static one-to-one NAT mappings for each internal host.
  4. D
    Reconfigure the inside interface using the ip nat outside overload command.

Cevap

Append the overload keyword to the ip nat inside source list pool command.
The correct response specifies appending the overload keyword to the dynamic NAT configuration statement (e.g., ip nat inside source list 1 pool NAT_POOL overload). This enables Port Address Translation (PAT), allowing multiple internal devices to share the public addresses by tracking unique source port numbers.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the reported issue
Dynamic NAT without PAT provides strict 1-to-1 translations, restricting concurrent internet access to the exact number of public IP addresses in the pool (4 hosts).
Omitting port-level translation causes the router to exhaust available public addresses after 4 active sessions.
2
Identify the required Cisco IOS command enhancement
Appending the 'overload' keyword converts dynamic NAT to Port Address Translation (PAT).
PAT tracks source TCP/UDP port numbers, enabling thousands of inside private hosts to multiplex over the same pool of public IP addresses.
