Hello group... Let's put an example:
PUBLIC POOL: X.X.X.0 ---- X.X.X.4 Four public ip addresses (it's only an example!!) Supppose that the first three clients arrives(clients are computers that try to get internet), the router does NAT (1:1), ok?? Now the fourth client arrives, so if you are right the router does PAT with the last IP public address. In this situation imagine the following cases: 1) The first translation time-outs, what happens if another client arrives?? does the router do PAT or NAT with this new client?? If the router does PAT... does it take the free public IP address or continues doing PAT with the forth IP public address?? 2) Now suppose this: The router has 3 public IP's doing NAT, the fourth doing PAT.. Now one translation time-outs, what happens with the four PAT translation?? does it keep on doing PAT or start doing NAT??? I'm still confused... I really appreciate all the answers to this question, but some answers says the opposite.... can we make it clear?? Thank you!!! --- Peter Walker escribis: > According to my experience you have got it the wrong > way round. > > Cisco IOS will do NAT until the pool runs out, then > do PAT on the last IP. > > This was a major issue when then documentation > suggested the opposite.
