Description

 

 

 

 

Enable NAT Traversal

When selected, enables you to configure NAT traversal on a device.

 

 

 

You use NAT traversal when there is a device (referred to as the

 

 

 

middle device) located between a VPN-connected hub and spoke,

 

 

 

that performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the IPSec

 

 

 

traffic.

 

 

 

For more information, see About NAT Traversal, page 9-71.

 

 

 

 

Keepalive Interval

Available when NAT Traversal is enabled.

 

 

 

The interval, in seconds, between the keepalive signals sent between

 

 

 

the spoke and the middle device to indicate that the session is active.

 

 

 

The keepalive value can be from 5 to 3600 seconds.

 

 

 

 

Enable PAT (Port Address

Supported on Cisco IOS routers and Catalyst 6500/7600 devices.

 

Translation) on Split Tunneling

When selected, enables Port Address Translation (PAT) to be used

 

for Spokes

 

 

 

for split-tunneled traffic on spokes in your VPN topology.

 

 

 

 

 

 

PAT can associate thousands of private NAT addresses with a small

 

 

 

group of public IP address, through the use of port addressing. PAT

 

 

 

is used if the addressing requirements of your network exceed the

 

 

 

available addresses in your dynamic NAT pool. See Understanding

 

 

 

NAT, page 9-70.

 

 

 

Note When this check box is enabled, Security Manager

 

 

 

implicitly creates an additional NAT rule for split-tunneled

 

 

 

traffic, on deployment. This NAT rule, which denies

 

 

 

VPN-tunneled traffic and permits all other traffic (using the

 

 

 

external interface as the IP address pool), will not be

 

 

 

reflected as a router platform policy.

 

 

 

For information on creating or editing a dynamic NAT rule as a

 

 

 

router platform policy, see Defining Dynamic NAT Rules,

 

 

 

page 12-20.
