Re: Static NAT Redundancy with HSRP

Gregory,
              Hopefully Narbik's Lawyer would not be calling me since I am
jumping ahead of him to help you. I am sure he will have much more insight
in this matter than me ;-)

To answer your question, SNAT(Stateful Nat) can be configured in
Primary/Backup Mode and HSRP mode. In Primary/Backup mode, you have to
manually configure who the primary router is and who the secondary router is
and hence you do not need the word redundancy.

When you configure SNAT in HSRP mode, SNAT follows what HSRP tells it to
hence you use the word redundancy to tie the two together.

HTH,
Tarun
