how can outside global hosts identify inside local ?

If using private addresses in my LAN network and a NAT on the router,How can outside hosts(on Internet) can ping my inside local(private address) hosts?

thank you.

You have no full Internet connectivity for your local hosts. You can't ping your hosts.

So,what is the possible solution?

Do I need to use public IP for LAN hosts?

For the hosts you wish to be reachable for ICMP ping from outside ? Yes.

Hello

By NAT static translations

example:
ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.10 1.1.1.10
< thus internet hosts(outside) would ping 1.1.1.10 to reach 192.168.1.10
