NAT helps multiple users share only a few valid public network addresses when the users attempt to access the Internet. NAT configuration is simple and secure.
Basic NAT functions include the NAT address pool, CGN global address pool, port allocation, ECMP and trunk load balancing, NAT policy template, and next-hop IP address for redirection.
Before configuring NAT for enterprise network traffic, familiarize yourself with the applicable environment, complete the pre-configuration tasks, and obtain the data required for the configuration.
NAT security can be implemented by setting the maximum number of NAT sessions that can be established and the rate at which the first packet is sent to create a flow for a specific user.
