A rule is programmed in hardware only after global NAT and the specific rule are enabled.
Enabling a rule is allowed only after all of the necessary configurations for the rule are complete. After a rule is enabled, configuration changes (IP address, egress VLAN, etc.) are not allowed for the rule. You must disable a rule to make configuration changes to it.
The following example the enables the IP NAT rule "rule1":
# enable ip nat rule rule1
