CCNA NAT SIM Question 1

Question

A network associate is configuring a router for the CCNA Training company to provide internet access. The ISP has provided the company six public IP addresses of 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110. The company has 14 hosts that need to access the internet simultaneously. The hosts in the CCNA Training company LAN have been assigned private space addresses in the range of 192.168.100.17 – 192.168.100.30.

The task is to complete the NAT configuration using all IP addresses assigned by the ISP to provide Internet access for the hosts in the Weaver LAN. Functionality can be tested by clicking on the host provided for testing.

Configuration information
router name – Weaver
inside global addresses – 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110/29
inside local addresses – 192.168.100.17 – 192.168.100.30/28
number of inside hosts – 14

The following have already been configured on the router:

- The basic router configuration

- The appropriate interfaces have been configured for NAT inside and NAT outside

- The appropriate static routes have also been configured (since the company will be a stub network, no routing protocol will be required.)

- All passwords have been temporarily set to “cisco”

Solution

Note: If you are not sure how NAT & PAT work, please read my Network Address Translation NAT Tutorial. You can download this sim to practice here: http://www.9tut.com/download/9tut.com_CCNA_NAT_sim_question.zip

The CCNA Training company has 14 hosts that need to access the internet simultaneously but we just have 6 public IP addresses from 198.18.184.105 to 198.18.184.110/29. Therefore we have to use NAT overload (or PAT)

Double click on the Weaver router to open it

Router>enable
Router#configure terminal

First you should change the router’s name to Weaver

Router(config)#hostname Weaver

Create a NAT pool of global addresses to be allocated with their netmask (/29 = 255.255.255.248). There were reports that the simulator in the real exam did not accept “prefix-length” keryword so you should use “netmask” keyword.

Weaver(config)#ip nat pool mypool 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110 netmask 255.255.255.248

Create a standard access control list that permits the addresses that are to be translated

Weaver(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15

Establish dynamic source translation, specifying the access list that was defined in the prior step

Weaver(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 pool mypool overload

This command translates all source addresses that pass access list 1, which means a source address from 192.168.100.17 to 192.168.100.30, into an address from the pool named mypool (the pool contains addresses from 198.18.184.105 to 198.18.184.110)

Overload keyword allows to map multiple IP addresses to a single registered IP address (many-to-one) by using different ports

The question said that appropriate interfaces have been configured for NAT inside and NAT outside statements.

This is how to configure the NAT inside and NAT outside, just for your understanding:

Weaver(config)#interface fa0/0
Weaver(config-if)#ip nat inside

Weaver(config-if)#exit

Weaver(config)#interface s0/0
Weaver(config-if)#ip nat outside
Weaver(config-if)#end

Finally, we should save all your work with the following command:

Weaver#copy running-config startup-config

Check your configuration by going to “Host for testing” and type:

C:\>ping 192.0.2.114

The ping should work well and you will be replied from 192.0.2.114

    iS that cisco new way to take down the prepExam simulator company. Just didn’t get it.
    my point is if Cisco is giving up the virtual real exam that should save us lot time and money from a failure attempts.
    – Please any one how had this test bundle, We need your honest feedback –

    Thank you all, best of luck

    Dear All,
    The most important command has been missed in this SIM; without applying an access list 1 to the Fa0/0 In; the above is not going to work…

    Weaver(Config)#interface fastetnernet 0/0
    Weaver(Config-if)# ip access-group 1 in

    Now everything should work…

    I think you have studied only Access List and not NAT.
    Go give some time to NAT also.

    the ping on 198.0.2.114 is success without needing to apply the previous nat configuration !!
    how is that possible ??

    hi everyone!
    Which statement is correct regarding the operation of DHCP?

    a. If an address conflict is detected, the address is removed from the pool and an administrator must resolve the conflict.
    b. If an address conflict is detected, the address is removed from the pool for an amount of time configurable by the administrator.

    Which one is true??? At 9tut the answer is a , at Brar the answer is b. I am not sure what is right!!!

    can some one explain to me how do we work out this subnet mask198.18.184.105 19 8.18.184.110/29 to get this (/29 = 255.255.255.248)

  13. Flipma

    CIDR Subnet Mask nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnnn.nnnnnnnn.????????
    /24 = 255.255.255.0 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 (= 254 hosts)
    /25 = 255.255.255.128 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.10000000 (= 126 hosts)
    /26 = 255.255.255.192 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000 (= 62 hosts)
    /27 = 255.255.255.224 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11100000 (= 30 hosts)
    /28 = 255.255.255.240 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11110000 (= 14 hosts)
    /29 = 255.255.255.248 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000 (= 6 hosts)
    /30 = 255.255.255.252 = 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111100 (= 2 hosts)

    /29 means that the first 29 bits are all ones. If you add all ones together you get:

    128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1
    x x x x x x x x
    1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0
    128 + 64 + 32 + 16 + 8 + 0 + 0 + 0 = 248

    Does this make sense ?

    @akki – you missed some key detail in this question/scenario.

    *The ISP has handed ‘ONLY’ 6 public IP addresses > the company has 14 hosts that need to ‘SIMULTANEOUSLY’ access the internet > hence you need ‘overload’…else all 14 hosts won’t be able to ‘simultaneously’ access the internet with ‘only’ 6 public IP’s.

  15. Edge
    November 12th, 2012

    Fadi, If you are running the ping from the router, it will ALWAYS work fine. however if you are running the ping from the host, as the directions say, it fails until you install the NAT. If you install them as described, then the ping is successful.

    Try the ping once before you install and once after. If you run the command #SHOW IP NAT STATISTICS from the router after you do the second ping, you should see 4 hits and 4 misses.. indicating four success and four fails..

    @9tut or Anyone
    please, expplain to me why 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15 is correct instead of

    192.168.100.8 0.0.0.7?

    /29 = 11111000
    Increment = 8

  22. xallax
    November 25th, 2012

    @will i am
    you have to permit these addresses:
    inside local addresses – 192.168.100.17 – 192.168.100.30/28

    “192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15″ filters the entire subnet from .16 to .31

    @ xallax
    thanx a lot. i have re-examined the IP addresses and noticed that i mixed the prefix notations,
    /29 is from the ISP and
    /28 which has the increment of 16 is for the inside local private addresses

    @joe Hi sir. It will also work even if you will use extended access list. But referring to your previous configuration

    ip access-list extended NAT_INSIDE
    permit ip 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15 198.18.184.96 0.0.0.7

    Theoretically your access list configuration is wrong. since you’re only permitting traffic to the 198.18.184.96/29 network

    your extended access list configuration will work if you will replace your destination address as “any”.

    please correct me if im wrong thanks :)

    9tut,

    when doing the NAT configuration does it matter the order in which the commands are placed? For example, I entered the ACL statement first and the rest of the information as follows in no special order … of course I just did this on a notepad and checked it against yours. Is there a problem with the order? I figure so long as the ACL is in before the NAT statement because the NAT statement references the ACL.

    enable
    config t
    hostname Weaver
    !
    access-list 1 permit 198.168.100.16 0.0.0.15
    !

    !
    interface s0/0
    ip nat outside
    !
    ip nat pool Pool-Add 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110 netmask 255.255.255.248
    ip nat inside source 1 pool Pool-Add overload
    end
    copy running-config startup-config

  33. 9tut
    December 13th, 2012

    @Jamerican: There is no problem with the order, don’t worry!

    @ Jamerican – It doesn’t matter which order you put the commands in. Only advice I would give is make sure you create your NAT pool and ACL first before referencing them in the “ip nat inside source 1 pool Pool-Add overload” command. It may still work but for best practise. I was labing this up and decided to change some of the IPs in my ACL and still kicked in are fine.

  37. JP
    December 19th, 2012

    Also at Anonymous do “show ip nat translation” command on Weaver make sure what you have configured is translating as expected. Once you have done a ping from any host if there is nothing stated under the “inside global” and “outside global” in this command then router is not configured correct.

    Also I’m confused on line:
    Weaver(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15
    Considering the inside local addresses – 192.168.100.17 – 192.168.100.30/28 Why isnt it 192.168..100.17 instead of .16?
    Also how would one calculate the subnet mask, in this case .15?
    Would very appreciate an answer, thanks.

  45. David
    January 11th, 2013

    Ray, in the access list 1 the network is 192.168.100.16 no 192.168.100.17 which is host address and the wildcard for /28(netmask according to the statement) is 0.0.0.15

  46. Phillip
    January 13th, 2013

    I tried those configs to no avail. Here is what I used:

    conf t
    access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15
    ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial 0/0 overload
    end

    pings like a charm….

  47. Phillip
    January 13th, 2013

    woops, nevermind. Not sure what I did (or didn’t do), but the current lab worked. Here they are again:

    conf t
    ip nat pool mypool 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110 netmask 255.255.255.248
    access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15
    ip nat inside source list 1 pool mypool overload

    since the question asks for the use of a specific pool, you’re better off this way I suppose.

  49. 9tut
    January 14th, 2013

    @Sean: You can download Packet Tracer (pkt) files of these sims to practice with (http://www.9tut.com/download/CCNA_DragDrop_EIGRP_RIP_NAT_and_implementation_LabsInPacketTracer.zip). Each sim has two pkt files: one initial file & one completed file.
