Hi Vivjay,

Thanks for you response.

I thought there was no field in the IP header for subnet mask, so I'm a
little confused how it would enter the ISP with a particular subnet
mask?

Regards,
Paul

My understanding is...

When the nat pool is defined with
Ip nat pool XYW 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.0

The nated packet leaving your network is give an ip 1.1.1.1 with a
subnet
mask
of 255.255.255.0. This also means the ISP has provided you a 1.1.1.0
(entire
class c)subnet
for your Internet access.

If nat pool is defined with
Ip nat pool XYW 1.1.1.1 1.1.1.50 netmask 255.255.255.128

The nated packet is give an ip 1.1.1.1 with network mask 255.255.255.128
This means your ISP has given you 1.1.1.1 till 1.1.1.126 range of
ip address for your use.

Cheers

Vijay
