 NAT

 A NAT-enabled device typically operates at

the border of a stub network.

 NAT Terms

 Inside Local Addresses – An IP address assigned to a host

inside a network. This address is likely to be a RFC 1918
private address.
 Inside Global Address – A legitimate IP address assigned
by the NIC or service provider that represents one or
more inside local IP address to the outside world.
 Outside Local Address - The IP address of an outside host
as it known to the hosts in the inside network.
 Outside Global Address - The IP address assigned to a host
on the outside network. The owner of the host assigns
this address.

 NAT Features
 Static NAT is designed to allow one-to-one mapping of local
and global addresses.
 Dynamic NAT is designed to map a private IP address to a
public address.

 PAT Features

 PAT uses unique source port numbers on the inside global

IP address to distinguish between translations.

 NAT Benefits

 Eliminates re-assigning each host a new IP

address when changing to a new ISP
 Eliminates the need to re-address all hosts
that require external access, saving time and
money
 Conserves addresses through application
port-level multiplexing
 Protects network security

 Conclusion

 NAT can be static or dynamic

 Uses a set of predefined private addresses
 Conserves legal IPv4 addresses
 NAT plus PAT often used
 PAT uses unique source port numbers on the
inside global IP address to distinguish between
translations
 Provides a level of security
