Adding and Editing Dynamic NAT

To add or edit a dynamic NAT configuration that can be applied to a profile:

  1. Select Add to create a new Dynamic NAT configuration, Edit to modify an existing configuration or Delete to permanently remove a configuration.

    Click to expand in new window
  2. Set the following to define the Dynamic NAT configuration:

    Source List ACL

    Use the drop-down menu to select an ACL name to define the packet selection criteria for NAT. NAT is applied only on packets which match a rule defined in the access list. These addresses (once translated) are not exposed to the outside world when the translation address is used to interact with the remote destination.

    Network

    Select Inside or Outside NAT as the network direction for the dynamic NAT configuration. Inside is the default setting.

    ACL Precedence

    Set the priority (from 1 - 5000) for the source list ACL. The lower the value, the higher the priority assigned to these ACL rules.

    Interface

    Use the drop-down menu to select the VLAN (between 1 - 4094) used as the communication medium between the source and destination points within the NAT configuration. Ensure the VLAN selected represents the intended network traffic within the NAT supported configuration. VLAN1 is available by default.

    Overload Type

    Select the check box of Overload Type used with the listed IP ACL rule. Options include NAT Pool, One Global Address and Interface IP Address. Interface IP Address is the default setting.

    NAT Pool

    Provide the name of an existing NAT pool for use with the dynamic NAT configuration.

    Overload IP

    Enables the use of one global address for numerous local addresses.

  3. Select OK to save the changes made to the dynamic NAT configuration. Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
