PAT to the outside interface IP

[mike.scaggs]

Hello

Is it possible to set the global (PAT) to the same IP that is on my outside interface. I believe this is how the small SOHO devices work such as the Linksys. This would be very cool for us at home who only have one IP address. Tell me if you have done it. Thanks

Yes, it is possible with the following:

global (outside) 1 interface

Is that the complete command or do I state "interface outside"

Thanks

that is the complete "global" command you need. By saying "global (outside) 1 interface" you are telling it use the outside interface.

Then you need your nat command, something like this:

nat (inside) 1 192.168.0.0 255.255.0.0

keep in mind that you must be using PIX version 5.2 or higher I believe.
