I am talking about static NAT in a 6500 switch.

Mike

You can't NAT two IP addresses to the same private IP address on the same port because the switch has no way of knowing which private to public IP address you want to use - remember static NAT is bi-directional so if a connection was initiated from the private address how would the switch know which public IP address to map it to.

Jon

Seperate ports on the 6500. Eg.

Port 1 --- Outside network

Port 2 --- Different outside network

Port 3 --- Inside network

Sorry Mike i'm a bit confused. When i talked about ports i meant TCP ports not physical switch ports. Are you talking about physical switch ports ?

Jon

Well, both. They both have to be NATed to an internal FTP server. So outside FTP 1 (X.X.X.X) and outside FTP 2 (Y.Y.Y.Y) both need to go to inside FTP address (Z.Z.Z.Z). So I see that there is a route-map available on the static nat commands. Was hoping this was the way to do it, if any.

Jon,

That is what I am trying to do. It is not any source IP addresses, it is specific ones (from seperate networks) trying to get to the same FTP server. I just don't know the syntax on the 6500. I have only done it on ASA.

Jon,

I found this document.

This is what I needed to do. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Was just about to send you that link :-)

Thanks for the rating.

Mike,

Thanks for sharing the link.

Regars,

This applies to switches as well.
