Chapter 9 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Identity NAT

hostname(config)# object network my-host-obj1

Step 3

(Skip when editing an object that has the right address.) Define the real IPv4 or IPv6 addresses that you
want to translate.

•

host

{

IPv4_address

|

IPv6_address

}—The IPv4 or IPv6 address of a single host. For example,

10.1.1.1 or 2001:DB8::0DB8:800:200C:417A.

•

subnet

{

IPv4_address

IPv4_mask

|

IPv6_address

/

IPv6_prefix

}—The address of a network. For

IPv4 subnets, include the mask after a space, for example, 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0. For IPv6, include the
address and prefix as a single unit (no spaces), such as 2001:DB8:0:CD30::/60.

•

range

start_address

end_address

—A range of addresses. You can specify IPv4 or IPv6 ranges. Do

not include masks or prefixes.

Example

hostname(config-network-object)# subnet 10.2.1.0 255.255.255.0

Step 4

Configure

identity NAT

for the object IP addresses. You can only define a single NAT rule for a given

object.

nat

[

(

real_ifc

,

mapped_ifc

)

]

static

{

mapped_inline_ip

|

mapped_obj

}

[

no-proxy-arp

] [

route-lookup

]

Example

hostname(config-network-object)# nat (inside,outside) static MAPPED_IPS

Where:

•

Interfaces—(Required for transparent mode) Specify the real (

real_ifc

) and mapped (

mapped_ifc

)

interfaces. Be sure to include the parentheses. In routed mode, if you do not specify the real and
mapped interfaces, all interfaces are used. You can also specify the keyword

any

for one or both of

the interfaces, for example (any,outside).

•

Mapped IP addresses—Be sure to configure the same IP address for both the mapped and real
address. Use one of the following:

–

mapped_inline_host_ip

—An inline IP address. The netmask, prefix, or range for the mapped

network is the same as that of the real network. For example, if the real network is a host, then
this address will be a host address. In the case of a range, then the mapped addresses include the
same number of addresses as the real range. For example, if the real address is defined as a range
from 10.1.1.1 through 10.1.1.6, and you specify 10.1.1.1 as the mapped address, then the
mapped range will include 10.1.1.1 through 10.1.1.6.

–

mapped_obj

—A network object or group that includes the same addresses as the real object.

•

No Proxy ARP—(Optional.) Specify

no-proxy-arp

to disable proxy ARP for incoming packets to

the mapped IP addresses. For information on the conditions which might require the disabling of
proxy ARP, see

Mapped Addresses and Routing, page 10-12

.

•

Route lookup—(Routed mode only; interfaces specified.) Specify

route-lookup

to determine the

egress interface using a route lookup instead of using the interface specified in the NAT command.
See

Determining the Egress Interface, page 10-14

for more information.
