Question

ccna_nat_sim_lab_3

You work as a network technician at 9tut.com. Study the exhibit carefully. You are required to perform configurations to enable Internet access. The Router ISP has given you six public IP addresses in the 198.18.32.65 198.18.32.70/29 range.
9tut.com has 62 clients that needs to have simultaneous internet access. These local hosts use private IP addresses in the 192.168.6.65 – 192.168.6.126/26 range.
You need to configure Router1 using the PC1 console.
You have already made basic router configuration. You have also configured the appropriate NAT interfaces; NAT inside and NAT outside respectively.
Now you are required to finish the configuration of Router1.

Solution

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

The company has 62 hosts that need to access the internet simultaneously but we just have 6 public IP addresses from 198.18.32.65 to 198.18.32.70/29 => we have to use NAT overload (or PAT)

Double click on PC1 to access Router1′s command line interface

Router1>enable
Router1#configure terminal

Create a NAT pool of global addresses to be allocated with their netmask (notice that /29 = 248)

Router1(config)#ip nat pool mypool 198.18.32.65 198.18.32.70 netmask 255.255.255.248

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

Router1(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.6.64 0.0.0.63

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

Router1(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 192.168.6.65 to 192.168.6.126, into an address from the pool named mypool (the pool contains addresses from 198.18.32.65 to 198.18.32.70)

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:

Router1(config)#interface fa0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip nat inside

Router1(config-if)#exit

Router1(config)#interface s0/0
Router1(config-if)#ip nat outside

Before leaving Router1, you should save the configuration:

Router1(config)#end (or Router1(config-if)#end)
Router1#copy running-config startup-config

Check your configuration by going to PC2 and type:

C:\>ping 192.0.2.114

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

    9tut,
    Why is the access list not applied to the inside interface for it to kick in? Is it not needed?
    Thanks!

    In reference to PAT is there a configuration step missing in the above example?? According to the venerable Wendall Odom, ICDN 2 pg. 606, PAT configuration is as follows:

    Configure an inside local interface: ip nat inside
    Configure an outside local interface : ip nat outside

    Configure a standard access list.

    Then according to Odom you DO NOT configure a NAT pool but use this command instead:

    ip nat inside source list 1 interface [INTERFACE] overload

    Any thoughts as to which is correct and why???

    ip nat inside
    interface serial 0/0
    ip nat outside

    access-list 1 permit 192.168.6.65 0.0.0.63
    access-list 1 deny any

    ip nat pool nat_test 198.18.32.65 198.18.32.70 netmask 255.255.255.248
    ip nat inside source list 1 pool nat_test overload
    end

    Hi samuel,
    I think the Inside local network address must be 192.168.6.64 255.255.255.192 instead of 192.168.6.65.
    So, access-list 1 permit 192.168.6.64 0.0.0.63
    Also the “deny” is implicit, you don’t need to write “deny any”

    Thks

  16. Jam
    March 30th, 2012

    Please explain why we use 192.168.6.64 255.255.255.192 instead of 192.168.6.65. Why we need network address to be used, why can’t we begin from first source address?

    Question for 9tut and anybody else;
    in d real exam sims do we first save our configs (copy running-config startup-config) b4 testing our config(pinging) or do we test our configs 1st b4 saving it?.

  20. 9tut

    @Jam

    We use 192.168.6.64 (the network number) to represent all hosts on that subnet or network portion. If we use ony 192.168.6.65 it would only represent the 1st assignable host on that network.

    When you configure access-list you want to apply in a interface, this is a reason, nat don’t work good in this lab. For me it’s work very good

    Weaver(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 interface serial 0/0 overload
    and used 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15 —access-list
    after that from any host i can ping the internet address which is 192.0.2.114 it works

    If I get, like in simulation: 6 public IP addresses of 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110, what is appropriate netmask in command where we should define Pool? Is is 255.255.255.0 because it belongs to class C?

  34. Thapa
    May 9th, 2012

    @roxy !!!
    The command would be like this:

    Lab-NAT
    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”
    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 command would be like this:
    Router>ena
    Router#conf t
    Router(config)#hostname Weaver
    Weaver(config)#ip nat pool mypool 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110 netmask 255.255.255.248
    Weaver(config)#access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15
    Weaver(config)#ip nat inside source list 1 pool mypool overload
    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
    Weaver#copy run start

  36. keno
    May 25th, 2012

    what does this means?
    You have also configured the appropriate NAT interfaces; NAT inside and NAT outside respectively.
    I didn’t see any NAT configuration.

    Guys pls know this. It may help clear some doubts. Its called wild card bits with formula (wildcard bit = block size – 1) so when ever you are to define the subnet pool of ip. Choose the most appropriate block size, use the formula to get the wild card bit, then your inverse mask is good to go. E.g for a pool of CIDR /29. Block of 8. The wild card bit becomes 7 ie (8-1). Then the inverse mask is 0.0.0.7

    @Josh:

    >>Right, but which is first and last? .64 -.71 or .65 -.70? I think .64 – .71/29 is the correct answer because it allows the easiest adaptability to scaling issues and does not have any negative consequences – at least that I can see!<<

    I looked in "Lab 7.4.1: Basic DHCP and NAT Configuration".

    Step 1: Define a pool of global addresses.
    Create a pool of addresses to which matched source addresses are translated. The following command creates a pool named MY-NAT-POOL that translates matched addresses to an available IP address in the 209.165.200.241–209.165.200.246 range.

    R2(config)#ip nat pool MY-NAT-POOL 209.165.200.241 209.165.200.246 netmask 255.255.255.248

    You can chack in some subnet calculator that network address for this subnet is 209.165.200.240 and broadcast address is 209.165.200.247

    Worked fine for me. Do check in your simulator that your ISP has the next-hop route configured to reach the R1 for the IPs 198.18.32.65 198.18.32.70/29. Else your ping reply will not reach PC2.

    the configuration shown above did not work in both packet tracer and GNS3, PCs in the company’s LAN are unable to ping the ISP(192.0.2.114).

    GNS3 config:

    R1 config:

    @9tut admin,

    what is your secret in the configuration of ISP? why did you restrict us to view the configuration of your ISP router?

  46. xallax
    June 21st, 2012

    @tekcorzvrah
    the password is “noway”

    your access to it has been restricted as you wont be able to alter its configuration in the real exam so there was no point in practicing on that device

  47. tekcorzvrah
    June 21st, 2012

    @xallax,

    I was thinking that there is something that has been configured in the ISP router and sure it is, there is…….”ip route 198.18.184.104 255.255.255.248 192.0.2.113″

    if ISP router does not have that static route, any PCs on the company’s LAN will not be able to connect to ISP (example ping).

    anyway, thanks for the password.

  48. No ping
    June 22nd, 2012

    I found the issue. There is a typo in the instructions and I didn’t notice it until comparing the uncompleted lab to the answered lab.

    interface FastEthernet0/0
    ip address 192.168.100.30 255.255.255.240
    ip nat inside
    duplex auto
    speed auto
    !
    interface FastEthernet0/1
    no ip address
    duplex auto
    speed auto
    shutdown
    !
    interface Serial0/0
    ip address 192.0.2.113 255.255.255.0
    encapsulation frame-relay
    ip nat outside
    !
    ip nat pool mypool 198.18.184.105 198.18.184.110 netmask 255.255.255.248
    ip nat inside source list 1 pool mypool overload
    ip classless
    !
    !
    access-list 1 permit 192.168.100.16 0.0.0.15

    Notice the address in the access list. Finding that is the difference between memorizing answers and actually knowing what is going on. After I adjusted the access list everything pinged just fine.

  49. No ping
    June 22nd, 2012

    When all else fails show run can save the day.

  50. No ping
    June 22nd, 2012

    Also the instructions on here are not asking the same thing or answering the same thing as the downloadable lab. Having an access list:

    access-list 1 permit 192.168.6.64 0.0.0.63

    That doesn’t even apply to the downloadable lab. None of the hosts are anywhere near that subnet. Never just follow instructions and expect to learn very much. Look at the bigger picture starting with there being rather different questions/requirements on here compared to the packet tracer lab.

    Actually read the instructions

    Show run on router

    check host ip’s, gateways, subnets
