Configuring NAT (1)

Network Address Translation or NAT was created to represent a large number of private IP addresses for a limited quantity of public IPs; but it’s useful for network migrations and mergers (when two networks have similar IP addressing), server load sharing and to create “virtual hosts”.

Advanges:

1. To keep the registred addresses
2. it helps to solve IP overlaps
3. No need to renumber as the network changes

Disadvantage:

1. NAT increases delays
2. No End-toEnd traces
3. Some applications don’t support NAT

Below there’s a basic example from Cisco’s Document: Configuring Network Address Translation:Getting Started
