Maybe i didn't state my question clearly. Sorry.
Suppose you implement NAT in a router. You establish a NAT inside interface
and a NAT outside interface. The link that i mentioned before says that a
packet that goes from inside interface to outside interface will be:
1:. Routed by the routing process.
2: Translated by NAT
And that a packet that goes from outside interface to inside interface will
be:
1:. Translated by NAT
2:. Routed by the routing process.
What i wanted to know is if:
-the rule applies only to routers configured with "ip nat inside" statement
OR
-the rule applies to whatever router that implements NAT (doesn't matter
that it is configured with "ip nat inside" or "ip nat outside" statement)
I think this topic is interesting because suppose you have a router with 3
interfaces:
NO NAT ----E0/1 (ROUTER) E0/2 ------- NAT INSIDE
E0/3
|
|
NAT OUTSIDE
You implement "ip nat inside source" translation and "ip nat outside source"
translation:
If you send a packet from NAT inside:
1: Routing process will decide where to send the packet
2: A.-If the destination interface is NAT outside, the address will be
translated
2:B - If the destination interface is NO NAT interface, the address will NOT
be translated
If you send a packet from NAT outside:
1: NAT will translated the packet (doesn't matter which will be the output
interface)
2: Routing process will decide where to send the packet
So a packet coming into the router from the outside interface will ALWAYS be
translated!!!!
This is what i deduce from the statement in:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk648/tk361/technologies_tech_note09186a0080
094430.shtml
Probably i'm wrong, but i hope that somebody could explain which is the
sequence of actions in function of the NAT configuration
Sorry again for the above email.
Thanks
