Hi, Can't answer as to why the ip nat outside... statement is used but I can say what will be occurring with translation.
The ip nat outside will translate the source address of packets travelling from the outside to the inside. Here is a link to Cisco's website documenting the process http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_configuration_example09186a0080093f2f.shtml The ip nat inside will translate the destination address of packets travelling from the outside to the inside. The question then appears to be do you have an application running that would require the translation of the source address of packets travelling from the outside to the inside or did the previous person not entirely understand the Cisco NAT commands? Hope this helps, Paul Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=65145&t=65137 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
