Chapter 1 Configuring Network Object NAT
Feature History for Network Object NAT
Flat range of PAT ports for a PAT pool 8.4(3) If available, the real source port number is used for the
mapped port. However, if the real port is
not available, by
default the mapped ports are chosen from the same range of
ports as the real port number: 0 to 511, 512 to 1023, and
1024 to 65535. Therefore, ports below 1024 have only a
small PAT pool.
If you have a lot of traffic that uses the lower port ranges,
when using a PAT pool, you can now specify a flat range of
ports to be used instead of the three unequal-sized tiers:
either 1024 to 65535, or 1 to 65535.
We modifed the following command: nat dynamic
[ pat-pool mapped_object [ flat [ include-reserve ]]].
This feature is not available in 8.5(1) or 8.6(1).
Extended PAT for a PAT pool 8.4(3) Each PAT IP address allows up to 65535 ports. If 65535
ports do not provide enough translations, you can now
enable extended PAT for a PAT pool. Extended PAT uses
65535 ports per
service , as opposed to per IP address, by
including the destination address and port in the translation
information.
We modifed the following command: nat dynamic
[ pat-pool mapped_object [ extended ]].
This feature is not available in 8.5(1) or 8.6(1).
