Do cisco support PAT for incoming traffic? We tried it and we are not able to configure PAT for incoming traffic like we used to do for outgoing . We can do a Static NAT or Dynamic NAT, but what about PAT?

Hello,

 When you say Cisco, which device do you refer to? 

Cisco router does supports, as you can see below.

it is ASR 1000 series , Please note that it is for incoming traffic.

For example this is a VPN traffic, The 3rd party subnet is 10.0.0.0/24 which need to nat to one single IP 10.2.2.2 when it reaches our extranet router,
once packets are decrypted. Is that possible

 

 

 I believe is possible but need to be tested. You can create a NAT like this:

object network 3RD_PARTY
subnet 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0
nat (outside, inside) dynamic 10.2.2.2

And permit on the ACL:

 access-list encrypt_acl line 1 extended permit ip <local network> <mask> 10.0.0.0 255.255.255.0

You need to test' 

Instead of NAT inside use NAT outside in far end' 

The outside can NATing many to one.

We did tested this with below command : But did not worked.

ip nat pool PAT-IP 10.2.2.2 10.2.2.2 prefix-length 24
ip nat outside source list <access-list> pool PAT-IP overload

What is not work NAT or VPN ?

Can you check show ip nat translate 

If there is entry for NATing subnet?

VPN is up, but PAT we configured is not working, we checked NAT translation, it is not translating. Also we can see not nated packet in next hop firewalls . That is why I thought do cisco support PAT for inbound traffic
