Chapter2 3 Configuring Network Address Translation
NAT Policies on Cisco IOS Routers
You define a static NAT rule for a single host by entering the original address to translate and the
global address to which it is translated. The global address may be taken from an interface on the
device.
You define a static NAT rule for a subnet by entering one of the addresses in the subnet (including
the subnet mask) as the original address, and one of the global addresses that you want to use as the
translated address. The router configures the remaining addresses based on the subnet mask you
provide.
You define a static NAT rule for a port by entering the original IP address and the global address
to which it should be translated. The global address may be taken from an interface on the device.
In addition, you must select the protocol used by the port, as well as the local and global port
numbers.
The Add Static NAT Rule and Edit Static NAT Rule dialog boxes are used to add and edit these rules.
Refer to NAT Static Rule Dialog Boxes, page23-7 for descriptions of the fields displayed in the table
on this page.
Before You Begin
