Static NAT to a Broadcast IP

[amrishp2300]

Hi Experts,

I have ASA5520 [Software Version8.4(7)3]. It is connected to an internet with /30 subnet. Lets say ASA has IP address 1.1.1.2/30 and ISP router has 1.1.1.1/30. I have one internal device with private IP, say 192.168.1.1/24.

Can I configure a static NAT on ASA 192.168.1.1-> 1.1.1.3 (Broadcast IP of internet link), to reach internal device from internet.

Thanks in advance.

No you can not.  The network IP (1.1.1.0/30) and broadcast IP (1.1.1.3/30) are reserved addresses and can not be used as host addresses.
