How to configure Static NAT in Cisco IOS Routers – Part 2
Posted on Feb 27, 2008 under Cisco | 5 CommentsTags:Cisco ios source-IP Static-NAT   
We discussed NAT Overloading in the Part-1 of our Cisco IOS NAT configuration here
Here, we will configure a Static NAT on Cisco IOS Routers. Static NAT is rather straightt forward as it is a one to one NATing between IP addresses as against the NAT Overloading or the Dynamic NAT where the IP addresses from the inside are NATed to a pool of IPs.
1. NAT inside interface
Enable an interface on the router with an IP Address and mark it as nat inside interface. This is the interface that connects to your internal private network
WANRouter(config)# int fastethernet0/1
WANRouter(config-if)# ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
WANRouter(config-if)# ip nat inside
2. Enable NAT outside interface
WANRouter(config)# int serial0/0/0
WANRouter(config-if)# ip address 100.100.100.100 255.255.255.0
WANRouter(config-if)# ip nat outside
Instruct Router to NAT the Source IP Address to that of a NATed IP.
WANRouter(config)# ip nat inside source static 10.1.1.11 172.1.1.11
WANRouter(config)# ip nat inside source static 10.1.1.12 172.1.1.12
WANRouter(config)# ip nat inside source static 10.1.1.13 172.1.1.13
Where 10.1.1.x IPs are NATed to 172.1.1.x
The syntax is
ip nat inside source static x.x.x.x y.y.y.y
That sets up the Static NATs. These can co exist along with NAT Overloading or Dynamic NATs.
To check the NAT Status and Statistics
WANRouter# show ip nat statistics
To see the active translations
WANRouter# show ip nat translations
