Public/ Private IP without NAT

[neekcotrack]

I have ESS-3300-NCP layer 3 switch but it does not have NAT capibilies, is there any way to still use it to program a static public ip and create a dhcp pool with a private network on that switch?

No way sorry.

Hello
FYI -Only high end L3 switches will support network translation (NAT) , otherwise you need a router to perform network translation

@neekcotrack The ESS-3300-NCP switch does not support NAT, so it cannot directly translate private IPs to a public IP. However, you can still configure a static public IP on one of its interfaces and create a DHCP pool for a private network. To provide internet access to the private network, you’ll need an external router or firewall that supports NAT. The switch can act as the gateway for the private subnet and route traffic to the router/firewall, which will handle NAT for outbound traffic.
