CISCO router 867VAE; can it do 2-way-NAT ?

[henrikpersson]

Hi,
I am looking for a small router, to do some NAT separation between 2 networks.

The commands would be as following:

interface <inside-int>

ip address 192.168.13.1 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside

interface <outside-int>
ip address 192.168.12.201 255.255.255.0
ip nat outside
exit
ip nat inside source static 192.168.13.32 192.168.12.32
ip nat outside source static 192.168.12.13 192.168.13.213
ip nat outside source static 192.168.12.14 192.168.13.214

So as I know that

 2-way-NAT 

is seldom used, I need some confirmation, that 867VAE (or some other small CISCO router) supports it. In packet tracer, several router types support the commands.

Best regards

Hi

 I dont recall to see explicty

support 2-way NAT

on the Datasheet. What I´ve seeing is:

●  Network Address Translation (NAT)

The router you mention, does support NAT.

Hi Flavio,

thanks for the answer.

You are right about

2-way NAT 

is not mentioned. But is that feature explicitly mentioned on other CISCO routers? 
I know it is seldom used. So perhaps not a feature to advertise so much about. 

PS: If somebody owns 867VAE, they could try from cli after conf t: 

ip nat inside source static ? 
ip nat outside source static ?

..just to see if router OS accepts those NAT commands both ways.

Best regards

Henrik

 Thats correct. As soon as the device support NAT, this command will be available. Would be a surprise to me if does not work, but I never did it on this specific router.

 Unfortunatelly I dont have one here to test.

However, this device 867VAE is already end of sale, so, if you buy it, will not be through cisco channel.  So, be care.
