Cannot Remove static Nat entry from 2801 Router

[CSCO10835886]

Hi All,

I have cisco 2801 router , which uses static nat translation for thirdparty vendors.

My Problem is , I cant remove the nat entry from my router

2801(config)#no ip nat outside source static 10.4.7.90 10.9.1.1

The router will take the command but nothing happens.

if i give 2801#show run | i 10.4.7.90 , it still there
ip nat outside source static 10.4.7.90 10.9.1.1

I tried to add another nat to the existing line, then i got

2801(config)#ip nat outside source static 10.3.4.6 10.9.1.1

% similar static entry (10.9.1.1-> 10.4.7.90 ) already exists

The router version is

Cisco IOS Software, 2800 Software (C2800NM-IPVOICEK9-M), Version 12.4(11)XJ4, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

there is nothing in the logs aswell.

did any one of you faced the similar problem , ?

thanks

Try the following:

1) Restart 2801

2) apply configuration change

3) write memory

4) restart 2801

5) check running config.

You may not need the 2nd restart, but I didn't want you to stop if after you restarted the 1st time it didn't apply to running config. 

(edit)

to answer your other question.  Yes I have had this happen and other variants.  It is a fault with the router hardware and/or IOS.  the restart will clear out the clog and allow new changes to occur.  the 2nd restart is for good measure as I have seen, although extremely rare, where the problem is that the IOS has problems applying your config and will keep having change problems until a change is made, applied, and restarted.  If I knew why it happened I would have already of submitted a fix to cisco

Hi,

The way to remove the nat entry is as follows;

1) Remove the ip nat inside/ip nat outside command from the interface. Removing either one of them will do the trick.

2) Now issue the command clear ip nat translation *

3) then type the command no ip nat outside source static 10.4.7.90 10.9.1.1

This will remove your entry.

Regards,

Shahal.

No it was not removing even after that

Not sure if it is fault with IOU

I removed all nat statements except one static nat statement which I was not able to remove..

There was no connection to remote server end where static was created.. 

Also, cleared ip nat translations and also reloaded.. But no luck
