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:
– 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.
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 (100.1.1.2). As usual, the parts of the configurations not relevant to this lab have
been omitted.
