Configuring IP Addressing

Configuring Network Address Translation

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router(config)# ip nat translation icmp-timeout seconds

Changes the ICMP timeout value from 1 minute.

 

 

Router(config)# ip nat translation syn-timeout seconds

Changes the Synchronous (SYN) timeout value from

 

1 minute.

 

 

Monitoring and Maintaining NAT

By default, dynamic address translations will time out from the NAT translation table at some point. To clear the entries before the timeout, use the following commands in EXEC mode as needed:

Command

Purpose

 

 

Router# clear ip nat translation *

Clears all dynamic address translation entries from

 

the NAT translation table.

 

 

Router# clear ip nat translation inside global-iplocal-ip

Clears a simple dynamic translation entry containing

[outside local-ip global-ip]

an inside translation, or both inside and outside

 

translation.

 

 

Router# clear ip nat translation outside local-ipglobal-ip

Clears a simple dynamic translation entry containing

 

an outside translation.

 

 

Router# clear ip nat translation protocol inside global-ip

Clears an extended dynamic translation entry.

global-port local-ip local-port [outside local-ip local-port

 

global-ip global-port]

 

 

 

To display translation information, use either of the following commands in EXEC mode:

Command

Purpose

 

 

 

Router#

show ip nat translations [verbose]

Displays active translations.

 

 

 

Router#

show ip nat statistics

Displays translation statistics.

 

 

 

Deploying NAT Between an IP Phone and Cisco CallManager

Cisco IP phones use the Selsius Skinny Station Protocol to connect with and register to the Cisco CallManager (CCM). Messages flow back and forth that include IP address and port information used to identify other IP phone users with which a call can be placed.

To be able to deploy Cisco IOS NAT between the IP phone and CCM in a scalable environment, NAT needs to be able to detect the Selsius Skinny Station Protocol and understand the information passed within the messages.

When an IP phone attempts to connect to the CCM and it matches the configured NAT translation rules, NAT will translate the original source IP address and replace it with one from the configured pool. This new address will be reflected in the CCM and be visible to other IP phone users.
