The port number of the public IP address is unique for each connection.

Pro Inside global Inside local Outside local Outside global To verify the NAT translations, we can use the show ip nat translations command after hosts request a web resource from S1: R1#show ip nat translations Now we need to enable NAT and refer to the ACL created in the previous step and to the interface whose IP address will be used for translations: R1(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 interface Gi0/1 overload The access list defined above includes all IP addresses from the 10.0.0.0 – 10.0.0.255 range. Next, we will define an access list that will include all private IP addresses we would like to translate: R1(config-if)#access-list 1 permit 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.255 Here is how we would configure PAT for the network picture above.įirst, we will define the outside and inside interfaces on R1: R1(config)#int Gi0/0 enable PAT with the ip nat inside source list ACL_NUMBER interface TYPE overload global configuration command.configure an access list that includes a list of the inside source addresses that should be translated.configure the router’s outside interface using the ip nat outside command.
configure the router’s inside interface using the ip nat inside command.To configure PAT, the following commands are required: R1 will receive that response, look up in its NAT translation table, and forward the request to the host. For example, if the host with the IP address of 10.0.0.101 wants to access the server S1 on the Internet, the host’s private IP address will be translated by R1 to 155.4.12.1:1056 and the request will be sent to S1. We will use the following example network to explain the benefits of using PAT:Īs you can see in the picture above, PAT uses unique source port numbers on the inside global (public) IP address to distinguish between translations. The router keeps a NAT table entry for every unique combination of the private IP address and port, with translation to the global address and a unique port number. It works by creating dynamic NAT mapping, in which a global (public) IP address and a unique port number are selected. PAT allows you to support many hosts with only few public IP addresses. It is even supported by most consumer-grade routers. This type of NAT is also known as NAT Overload and is the typical form of NAT used in today’s networks. With Port Address Translation (PAT), a single public IP address is used for all internal private IP addresses, but a different port is assigned to each private IP address.
