NVI0 got wrong address

Hello there,

i hope someone knows this better than me:

I have sometimes the "wrong" address on the NVI0 Interface. i use the "old" nat configuration with nat inside and nat outside. sometimes the address of the nvi is the one from a local loopback (then everything works, like ospf between two routers) and the next router has the outside interface address on the nvi. how is this decision made?

----------------------------------------

NVI0 is up, line protocol is up

Interface is unnumbered. Using address of Loopback10 (10.51.2.10)

Broadcast address is 255.255.255.255

MTU is 1514 bytes

Helper address is not set

Directed broadcast forwarding is disabled

NVI is a new feature in IOS 12.3 and later.

It is enabled by using "ip nat enable " on interfaces and we do not use "ip nat inside" or "ip nat outside" .

If you want to understand how translation and routing differs in the implementation check following link :

Hello,

NVI is enabled and it takes ip address from the interface under which you configure "ip nat enable"

in your first example if you check you should see "ip nat enable" under interface loopback10 and for second example under interface FastEthernet0/0 .

Also check follwoing link:

Pls rate if it helps

I found this document before, but i did not use the "ip nat enable".

It is a 12.4-15T7 image.

I have used the ip nat outside and inside command.

can you explain me how this interface nvi is used? i did not get it i think.
