Overview/Description
The Cisco ASA adaptive security appliance provides support for Network Address Translation (NAT) to solve addressing issues when your internal networks are interconnecting with external networks. NAT translates the source and destination IP addresses of traffic that is going through the security appliance. NAT often works together with the Port Address Translation (PAT) feature, which translates source ports in addition to IP addresses and enables many internal hosts to share one public IP address. This course describes the configuration, verification, and troubleshooting procedures that you use to implement NAT and PAT on the Cisco ASA security appliance.
