Cisco's Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM) has a feature called
"dynamic NAT" that basically detects and NATs any static addresses to a
so-called "foreign pool" of IP addresses. This product is targeted at the
hotel industry, so it's possible that you've encountered it or technology
it's based on.

Good morning all-

Looking to find a Cisco solution that aids in controlling a hosts
IPCONFIG parameters. For instance, when you are in a hotel room, you
plug your computer in that is configured using a static IP. Chances are
very good that you don't have an IP that belongs to the local segment,
but some magic transition takes place and you still are able to attach
and operate.

Is there anything S/W or H/W from Cisco that would do this? My thought
is that it is essentially doing NAT at the port level..... Ideas?

Any info is appreciated....

Phil
