NAT on Cisco Catalyst 4506 ?

[frbachel05]

Hi,

Is-it possible to configure NAT on Cisco Catalyst 4506?

I'm used to configure NAT on Firewall ASA but never on Cisco Catalyst 4506.

After research, it does not seem to be possible.

Hello Francois,

only C6500 with sup720 is able to perform NAT with some functional restrictions otherwise you need to use a firewall or SW based router

Hope to help

Hello,

Thanks Giuseppe but what do you mean by SW based router?

Thanks in advance

Francois,

By that i means that you can use IOS router to perform the NAT in software. It cannot be peformed in hardware.

SUP7-E for Catalyst 4500 which was launched in September is hardware capable of doing NAT. The software is not yet out to support that feature, which is due in another few quarters.

HTH,
