is this a violation of NAT rule?

[Hirak Debnath]

According to NAT section rule section 2 should be processed before section 3. In my test LAB the section 3 get processed. In other words Twice-NAT (after-auto) get processed. Expected is section 2 object NAT + PAT

There are two rules

1) Object NAT dynamic NAT+PAT(fallback)

2)Twice NAT after auto static source NAT

ciscoasa(config)# sh nat
Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (INSIDE) to (OUTSIDE) source dynamic NAT NAT+PAT 
translate_hits = 10, untranslate_hits = 0

Manual NAT Policies (Section 3)
1 (INSIDE) to (OUTSIDE) source static 10.10.0.10 192.168.31.210 
translate_hits = 15, untranslate_hits = 15
ciscoasa(config)#
!
ciscoasa(config)# sh run nat
!
object network NAT
nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) dynamic NAT+PAT
!
nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) after-auto source static 10.10.0.10 192.168.31.210
ciscoasa(config)# 
ciscoasa(config)# sh run object-group network
object-group network NAT+PAT
network-object object NAT-POOL
network-object object PAT-POOL
!
ciscoasa(config)# sh run object network
object network NAT
range 10.10.0.1 10.10.0.5
object network NAT-POOL
range 192.168.31.100 192.168.31.101
object network PAT-POOL
host 192.168.31.200
object network 10.10.0.10
host 10.10.0.10
object network 192.168.31.210

ciscoasa(config)# 

Test:

INSIDE#ping 8.8.8.8 so 10.10.0.10 repeat 1
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 1, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 8.8.8.8, timeout is 2 seconds:
Packet sent with a source address of 10.10.0.10
!
Success rate is 100 percent (1/1), round-trip min/avg/max = 56/56/56 ms

=================

OUTSIDE#

=================

There is no NAT or PAT as a result of section 2 NAT rule

ciscoasa(config)# show xlate

The source of the ping is 10.10.0.10, which is not included in 

object network NAT
range 10.10.0.1 10.10.0.5

 For this reason auto-nat will not be used. 

[Hirak Debnath]

"object network NAT" is not used anywhere in the current configuration. It is residue of previous configuration

[Ilkin]

In your configuration there is an object named NAT with IP range and NAT definition:

object network NAT
nat (INSIDE,OUTSIDE) dynamic NAT+PAT

object network NAT
range 10.10.0.1 10.10.0.5

object-group network NAT+PAT
network-object object NAT-POOL
network-object object PAT-POOL

'show nat' shows that there is an auto-NAT rule that translates whatever is configured in object named NAT to whatever configured in object-group named NAT+PAT.

Auto NAT Policies (Section 2)
1 (INSIDE) to (OUTSIDE) source dynamic NAT NAT+PAT
translate_hits = 10, untranslate_hits = 0

sorry you are right
