Chapter 5 Configuring Twice NAT

Configuring Twice NAT

 

Command

Purpose

Step 3

 

 

nat [(real_ifc,mapped_ifc)]

Configures identity NAT. See the following guidelines:

 

[line {after-object [line]}]

Interfaces—(Required for transparent mode) Specify the real

 

source static {nw_obj nw_obj any any}

 

[destination static {mapped_obj

and mapped interfaces. Be sure to include the parentheses in

 

interface [ipv6]} real_obj]

your command. In routed mode, if you do not specify the real

 

[service real_src_mapped_dest_svc_obj

and mapped interfaces, all interfaces are used; you can also

 

mapped_src_real_dest_svc_obj]

 

specify the keyword any for one or both of the interfaces.

 

[no-proxy-arp][route-lookup] [inactive]

 

 

 

[description desc]

Section and Line—(Optional) By default, the NAT rule is

 

 

added to the end of section 1 of the NAT table. See the “NAT

 

Example:

Rule Order” section on page 3-18for more information about

 

sections. If you want to add the rule into section 3 instead

 

ciscoasa(config)# nat (inside,outside)

 

source static MyInsNet MyInsNet

(after the network object NAT rules), then use the after-auto

 

destination static Server1 Server1

keyword. You can insert a rule anywhere in the applicable

 

 

section using the line argument.

 

 

Source addresses—Specify a network object, group, or the

 

 

any keyword for both the real and mapped addresses.

 

 

Destination addresses (Optional):

 

 

Mapped—Specify a network object or group, or for static

 

 

interface NAT with port translation only, specify the

 

 

interface keyword (routed mode only).If you specify

 

 

ipv6, then the IPv6 address of the interface is used. If you

 

 

specify interface, be sure to also configure the service

 

 

keyword (in this case, the service objects should include

 

 

only the destination port). For this option, you must

 

 

configure a specific interface for the real_ifc. See the

 

 

“Static Interface NAT with Port Translation” section on

 

 

page 3-5for more information.

 

 

Real—Specify a network object or group. For identity

 

 

NAT, simply use the same object or group for both the

 

 

real and mapped addresses.

 

 

Port—(Optional) Specify the service keyword along with the

 

 

real and mapped service objects. For source port translation,

 

 

the objects must specify the source service. The order of the

 

 

service objects in the command for source port translation is

 

 

service real_obj mapped_obj. For destination port

 

 

translation, the objects must specify the destination service.

 

 

The order of the service objects for destination port

 

 

translation is service mapped_obj real_obj. In the rare case

 

 

where you specify both the source and destination ports in the

 

 

object, the first service object contains the real source

 

 

port/mapped destination port; the second service object

 

 

contains the mapped source port/real destination port. For

 

 

identity port translation, simply use the same service object

 

 

for both the real and mapped ports (source and/or destination

 

 

ports, depending on your configuration).
