Network Lab
Lab Class 9: DHCP on Cisco IOS & NAT
_____________________________________________________________________________________

Network Address Translation (NAT):

Network address translation (NAT) is a method of remapping one IP address space into another by
modifying network address information in Internet Protocol (IP) datagram packet headers while they are
in transit across a traffic routing device. We are going to study three types of NAT configuration on this
lab course.

Static NAT:
This type of NAT is designed to allow one-to-one mapping between local and global address. Requires
separate real IP for each device.

Dynamic NAT:
A form of dynamic NAT that maps multiple unregistered IP addresses to a single registered IP address by
using different ports. This is known also as PAT (Port Address Translation), single address NAT or port-
level multiplexed NAT.

Overloading/PAT:
A form of dynamic NAT that maps multiple unregistered IP addresses to a single registered IP address by
using different ports. This is known also as PAT (Port Address Translation), single address NAT or port-
level multiplexed NAT.

Task 1: Configure the following network separately with Static NAT,
Dynamic NAT and Overload NAT

Task 2: Configure the below network and create a DHCP pool on the
router to assign dynamic IPs to the devices connected on the right side
network.
