Figure 29-1 shows a typical static NAT scenario. The translation is always active so both real and remote
hosts can initiate connections.

Information About Static NAT with Port Translation
Static NAT with port translation lets you specify a real and mapped protocol (TCP or UDP) and port.
This section includes the following topics:

Information About Static NAT with Port Address Translation

When you specify the port with static NAT, you can choose to map the port and/or the IP address to the
same value or to a different value.
Figure 29-2 shows a typical static NAT with port translation scenario showing both a port that is mapped
to itself and a port that is mapped to a different value; the IP address is mapped to a different value in
both cases. The translation is always active so both translated and remote hosts can initiate connections.

Note For applications that require application inspection for secondary channels (for example, FTP and VoIP),
the ASA automatically translates the secondary ports.
