Nat Help

[Locayta123]

HI there.

I've had a request that i'd like to run past the group as i'm confused on how this may look / work.

A client has asked us to setup a VPN to thier office but only allow the connection from one internal IP. Users would have to access this remote network from multiple work stations but must route via this one IP.

Creating the VPN and configuring the Source and Destination within IPSec Rules sounds ok, but how would i route my office VLAN via this one IP that has been allocated for this conection.

Hello Jamie.

What version are you running?

Lets say you are running 8.4

So all you need to implement is that all your network when you want to access the other office via the VPN tunnel should get natted to one ip address. so that being the case here is what you need:

objet network Local_Lan

subnet 192.168.12.0 255.255.255.0

object network Remote_Office_Lan

subnet 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0

Object network Natted_IP_L2L

Host 172.16.15.2

So the nat would look like this:

nat (inside,outside) source static Local_Lan   Natted_IP_L2L destination static  Remote_Office_Lan Remote_Office_Lan

On the crypto ACL for the site to site tunnel you also need to match that traffic:

access-list crypto_acl permit ip host 172.16.15.2 172.16.0.0 255.255.0.0

Do rate all the helpful posts!!

Hi Julio.

Just to conifrm, as i understand it from the request i have been given.

My office LAN: Local_LAN 172.16.101.0/24

My assgined static off IP: Natted_IP 172.16.101.250

Remote network: Remote_LAN 10.71.130.19

I will be accessing Remote_LAN from Local_LAN via Natted_IP

nat (inside,outside) source static Local_Lan Natted_IP destination static Remote_LAN

access-list crypto_acl permit ip host 172.16.101.250 10.71.130.19

I was looking at addiding this via ASDM. I presume the NAT rule is a static NAT rule. I'm unsure how to add this for my office LAN side.
