Configuring NAT Overload (PAT)

1) The document discusses configuring Network Address Translation (NAT) with Port Address Translation (PAT) or overload on a router. It defines key NAT terms like inside, outside, inside local, and inside global addresses. 2) It provides an example initial configuration of router R1 that uses NAT overload with a single inside global IP address to allow thousands of private inside hosts to connect to the internet using that single address. 3) It references figures that illustrate how NAT overload works by changing inside IP addresses and port numbers when communicating with outside hosts.

Lab 10
NAT Overload (PAT)
This CCNA Video Mentor (CVM) lab shows how to configure Network Address Translation (NAT),
specifically using the Port Address Translation (PAT) or overload feature. In particular, the objectives
of this lab are as follows:
■ Define the following NAT terms:

– Inside, Outside, Inside Local, and Inside Global


■ Describe how NAT changes the following:

– IP addresses for Enterprise (Inside) hosts for a typical Internet connection

– Port numbers to support thousands of connections using a single Inside Global IP address
■ Configure NAT overload (PAT) using a single interface IP address for the Inside Global IP
address

Scenario
This lab contains two main steps, as follows:

Step 1. Review the terms associated with the typical use of NAT and PAT with an Internet
connection and see NAT working in a router.

Step 1. Review router NAT/PAT configuration using a single IP address on an interface


(no NAT pool).

Initial Configurations
Example 10-1 shows the pertinent initial configuration of router R1 in the lab video. Note that this lab
begins with R1 having a valid NAT/PAT overload configuration, using the Inside Global IP address of
R1’s S0/1/0 interface ([Link]). As usual, the parts of the configurations not relevant to this lab have
been omitted.

Example 10-1 Initial Configuration for R1

hostname R1
!
ip nat inside source list 3 interface serial 0/1/0 overload
!
interface FastEthernet 0/0
ip address [Link] [Link]
ip nat inside

Ending Configurations
This lab video does not change the router configuration.

Video Presentation Reference


This video presents several figures that describe how NAT overload (PAT) works generally and
how it works in the particular example shown in the lab video. This section simply lists these
figures for reference.
