[vlacmanov]

Dear All,
I have problem with VRF Lite and NAT on IOS
I tried two configuration without success
!
! ### Config 1
!
version 15.5
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip vrf forwarding EXTERNAL
 ip address 8.1.61.118 255.255.255.248
 ip nat enable
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip vrf forwarding EXTERNAL
 ip address 2.1.155.50 255.255.255.240
 ip nat enable
!
ip nat source static 2.1.155.61 8.1.61.116 vrf EXTERNAL
!
! ### Config 2
!
version 15.5
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip vrf forwarding EXTERNAL
 ip address 8.1.61.118 255.255.255.248
 ip nat outside
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 ip vrf forwarding EXTERNAL
 ip address 2.1.155.50 255.255.255.240
 ip nat inside
!
ip nat inside source static 2.1.155.61 8.1.61.116 vrf EXTERNAL

I think that vrf require the "ip nat enable" commando, not ip nat inside|outside

Hi,

what exactly did not work?

How did you test (trace/capture packets)?

Was routing for the VRF configured correctly?
