I am using a traffic generator so I can't ping using my ethernet as a source address because the router don't like the traffic generator.

DUT_3825#ping 192.4.1.2

Type escape sequence to abort.

Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 192.4.1.2, timeout is 2 seconds:

!!!!!

Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/1/4 ms

Hi:

Hits occur when NAT looks for a mapping, and finds one. Misses occur when NAT looks for a NAT table entry, does not find one, and then needs to dynamically add one.

If everything is working fine, when you first initiiate a PING to test your NAT, the hit counter should increment and the miss counter should increment by 1. If the translation is built successfully, the miss counter will no longer increment becuase it no longer "misses" the NAT because it is now in the NAT translation table.

Once the translation expires, the miss counter will increment by 1 the next time you PING.

HTH

If you can refer to my 1st post you will see that there are no misses, but still my "sh ip nat translations" do not show anything though there are matches/hits. Does this means my Nat'ing is not working fine?

Oh yes, I was taking a lot of time before checking the translations, thanks.

My translations are ok.

Just to let you know, I failed my ONT exam on Thursday. I got 661 and the pass mark was 790, I was confident but they proved that I actually know nothing.

What other material can I use for preparation for this exam. I used the student guide I got from Torque-IT last year, but at the bottom of the page it's written 2006 Cisco Systems.

Hi:

I'm glad that everything is working for you and that I was able to help. :-)

Don't feel bad about failing the exam. You fell off the horse, that's all. Now get back up, dust yourself off and charge again.

I am sorry, I have never prepared for that exam, so I am not sure I know what material to use to study. :-(
