NAT Configuration Examples
Dynamic NAT (many to many)
In dynamic (many-to-many) NAT type, multiple source IP addresses in the corporate network will be mapped to
multiple NAT IP addresses (not necessarily of equal number). For a set of local IP address from 10.1.1.1 to
10.1.1.4 there will be a set of NAT IP address from 60.1.1.1 to 60.1.1.2. In case of many-to-many NAT, only IP
address translation takes place, i.e., if a packet travels from 10.1.1.1 to yahoo.com, Foundry-Firewall only
substitutes the source address in the IP header with one of the NAT IP address and the source port will be the
same as the original. If traffic emanates from the same client to any other server, the same NAT IP address is
assigned. The advantage is that the NAT IP addresses are utilized in a better and optimum manner dynamically.
If a NAT IP address cannot be allocated dynamically at the connection creation time, the packet would be
dropped.
Figure 15.6 Dynamic NAT
The dynamic NAT configuration shown in includes:
• Private network addresses:10.1.1.1—10.1.1.4
• Public (NAT) IP address range: 60.1.1.1—60.1.1.2
To create NAT pool with type dynamic, specify the IP address and the NAT ending IP address.Then add a policy
with the source IP address range, and attach the NAT pool to the policy.
