Hello Ketan,

 

Static nat is usually configured when you need to provide outside to inside reachability for a given host. For example, a web server in your DMZ that will be accessed from the internet.

 

The only application i have seen of Dynamic nat is when you have overlapping ip addresses. In that particular case, we had to translate a 192.168.0.0/24 network into another range of IPs. 

 

Last, but not least, Overload allows you to translate multiple internal IPs into a single outside IP. Sometimes also called PAT. This is often used for providing internet access in a border router or firewall.

Hi Bersoare,

 

Can you please explain me in detail what is the overlapping IP Address?

 

Also can you be more clear about the scenario for using Static NAT?
