Configure a NAT PoolNEW!

Use this procedure to configure or edit Network Address Translation (NAT) Pool settings for a device profile, or to override NAT Pool device profile settings for a specific device.

Define a range of IP addresses hidden from the public Internet. NAT modifies network address information in the defined IP range while in transit across a traffic routing device.

Note

NAT only provides IP address translation and does not provide a firewall. A branch deployment with NAT by itself will not block traffic from being potentially routed through a NAT device. Consequently, NAT should be deployed with a stateful firewall.

Choose from the following actions:
- If you are in the process of configuring a new device profile, proceed to the next step.
- If you want to configure or edit NAT Pool settings for an existing device profile, go to Profiles, select the target profile, then proceed to the next step.
- If you want to override NAT Pool device profile settings for a specific device, go to Devices, select the target device, then proceed to the next step.
Select the NAT tab.
The NAT Pool tab displays by default. The NAT Pool window lists the configured NAT Pools, if any exist. The total number of configured NAT Pools appears in parentheses.
Choose from the following actions:
- Select to add a new NAT Pool.
- Select adjacent to an existing NAT Pool, then edit the settings in accordance with the steps in this procedure.
- Select adjacent to an existing NAT Pool to remove it.
If you are creating a new NAT Pool, assign a Name to it that will distinguish it from others with similar configurations. The name cannot exceed 64 characters.

Note
You cannot edit the name of an existing NAT Pool.
Under the IP Address Range pane, choose from the following actions:
- Select Add to define a new IP Address Range. Repeat this action to define up to 128 entries.
- Edit an IP Address Range.
- Select adjacent to an existing IP Address Range entry to remove it.
Select Add to create the new NAT Pool, or select Update to apply changed settings for an existing NAT Pool.
After you have completed configuring the settings, choose from the following actions:
1. Select Revert to restore default settings or restore the last saved settings.
  
  Note
  You cannot restore default settings after applying or saving changes.
2. Select Apply to commit the configured settings.
  
  Note
  This does not permanently save the settings you configured. If you perform a Reload (warm reboot), applied settings will be lost.
3. Select Save to commit and save the configured settings.
  
  Note
  
  If you do not select Apply or Save, the settings that you configured are not saved when you move away from the configuration window.
