Title: Network Address Translation is used for the translation of private IP addresses
into public IP addresses while accessing the internet. NAT generally operates on a
router or firewall
Objective: In this type of NAT, multiple private IP addresses are mapped to a pool
of public IP addresses. It is used when we know the number of fixed users who want to
access the Internet at a given point in time.
Example: If we have 4 public IP address in a pool then at a time, only 4 users private
IP address gets translated into public address.
The private IP who have a request for the translation first will get translated first (like
First Come First Serve). If all the IP addresses in the pool are busy and a request for
translation is received, then the packets will be dropped.
Tools:
1.Software:
 Cisco Packet Tracer (8.2.1)
2. Tools:
 Two Routers
 Three PC
 Wire
 One switch
 One server

Implementation:
Step-1: Create Topology

Step-2: Configure IP Address to Router 1 and Router 2 and :

Device Interface IP Address Subnet Mask
Router0 Serail2/0 200.0.0.1 255.255.255.248
Fastethernet0/0 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
Router1 Serial2/0 200.0.0.2 255.255.255.248
Fastethernet0/0 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0

pg. 3
Step-3: Assign IP Address to all the PCs also assign gateway address to all PCs
and server :
Device IP Address Subnet Mask Default Gateway
PC0 192.168.1.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
PC1 192.168.1.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
PC2 192.168.1.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.1
Server 10.0.0.254 255.0.0.0 10.0.0.1

Step-4: Configure Command :

Router-0 Configure Command:
Router0>en
Router0#conf t
Router0(Config)#int se2/0
Router0(config-if)# ip address200.0.0.1 255.255.255.248
Router0(config-if)# Clock rate 64000
Router0(config-if)# no sh
Router0(config-if)#exit
Router0(Config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s2/0
Router0(Config)#int fa 0/0
Router0(config-if)# ip nat inside
Router0(config-if)# int se2/0
Router0(config-if)#ip nat outside
Router0(config-if)# exit
Router0(config-if)# ip nat pool pulicip 200.0.0.3 200.0.0.5 netmask
255.255.255.248
Router0(config-if)# access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Router0(config-if)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool publicip
Router-1 Configure Command:
Router1>en
Router1#conf t
Router1(Config)#int fa0/0
pg. 4
Router1(config-if)# ip address10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
Router1(config-if)# no sh
Router1(config-if)#exit
Router1(Config)#int se2/0
Router1(config-if)# ip address200.0.0.2 255.255.255.248
Router1(config-if)# no sh
Router1(config-if)#exit
Result & Analysis :
Benefits Dynamic Network Address Translation
 It allows you to rescue the private IP address.
 It has got good security features that enhance the security of private networks
by separating the internal network from the external network.
 It helps to conserve the IP address space. You can connect a large number of
hosts using a small IP address to the global internet

Trobleshooting:
Open your Network Topology: Once you've opened your Network Topology on
Cisco Packet Tracer, access your network and identify the components of your
network, for example; Servers, Routers, End Devices, etc.

Test connectivity: After configuring the addresses, you will have to test
connectivity by opening a command prompt window on the end devices and try
pinging the address which the network operates on. If it gives you a reply, it means
your network was configured correctly
How to Remove IP Address: You
can also use the ip config /release all command on
Windows or the no IP address command on Ruckus devices to delete your IP
address from an interface.
Conclusion:
At last we can say that Because Dynamic NAT Lowers the cost, Conserving
Address, Connection Flexibility, Consistency in the Network, provides Network
Security, and Private Addressing it can be used sufficiently.
