Dynamic NAT and PAT config

[Chennai NOC]

Will dynamic NAT and PAT work on a same router.If not why?

If there is any link briefing the concept please let me know.

See Dynamic NAT comes into picture when you have got some number of IPs and you want to use them all for NAT.

PAT comes into picture when you are having only one single IP and you want to NAT the whole subnet.

So by taking range of IPs you can do Dynamic NAT for one subnet and do PAT with single IP for another subnet.

Hope that helps,

Hi

in addition u can use the same subnet for PAT.So once all the dynamically IP's are used then PAT is going to take place.

Thanks
