Several errors in the configuration have resulted in NAT issues. Your boss has asked you to troubleshoot and correct the NAT errors and document your work. Ensure that the network supports the following: · PC-A acts as a web server with a static NAT and will be reachable from the outside using the 209.165.200.254 address. · PC-B acts as a host computer and dynamically receives an IP address from the created pool of addresses called NAT_POOL, which uses the 209.165.200.240/29 range. Note: The routers used with CCNA hands-on labs are Cisco 1941 Integrated Services Routers (ISRs) with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 (universalk9 image). The switches used are Cisco Catalyst 2960s with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) (lanbasek9 image). Other routers, switches and Cisco IOS versions can be used. Depending on the model and Cisco IOS version, the commands available and output produced might vary from what is shown in the labs. Refer to the Router Interface Summary Table at the end of this lab for the correct interface identifiers. Note: Make sure that the routers and switch have been erased and have no startup configurations. If you are unsure, contact your instructor. Required Resources · 2 Routers (Cisco 1941 with Cisco IOS Release 15.2(4)M3 universal image or comparable) · 1 Switch (Cisco 2960 with Cisco IOS Release 15.0(2) lanbasek9 image or comparable) · 2 PCs (Windows 7, Vista, or XP with terminal emulation program, such as Tera Term) · Console cables to configure the Cisco IOS devices via the console ports · Ethernet and serial cables as shown in the topology Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure the routers with basic settings. Additional NAT-related configurations are provided. The NAT configurations for the Gateway router contains errors that you will identify and correct as you proceed through the lab. Step 1: Cable the network as shown in the topology. Step 2: Configure PC hosts. Step 3: Initialize and reload the switch and routers. Step 4: Configure basic settings for each router. a. Disable DNS lookup. b. Configure device name as shown in the topology. c. Configure IP addresses as listed in the Address Table. d. Set the clock rate to 128000 for DCE serial interfaces. e. Assign cisco as the console and vty password. f. Assign class as the encrypted privileged EXEC mode password. g. Configure logging synchronous to prevent console messages from interrupting the command entry. Step 5: Configure static routing. a. Create a static route from the ISP router to the Gateway router-assigned public network address range 209.165.200.224/27. ISP(config)# ip route 209.165.200.224 255.255.255.224 s0/0/0 b. Create a default route from the Gateway router to the ISP router. Gateway(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 s0/0/1 Step 6: Load router configurations. The configurations for the routers are provided for you. There are errors with the configuration for the Gateway router. Identify and correct the configurations errors.

Part 2: Troubleshoot Static NAT In Part 2, you will examine the static NAT for PC-A to determine if it is configured correctly. You will troubleshoot the scenario until the correct static NAT is verified. a. To troubleshoot issues with NAT, use the debug ip nat command. Turn on NAT debugging to see translations in real-time across the Gateway router. Gateway# debug ip nat b. From PC-A, ping Lo0 on the ISP router. Do any NAT debug translations appear on the Gateway router? ____________________________________________________________________________________ c. On the Gateway router, enter the command that allows you to see all current NAT translations on the Gateway router. Write the command in the space below. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Why are you seeing a NAT translation in the table, but none occurred when PC-A pinged the ISP loopback interface? What is needed to correct the issue? ____________________________________________________________________________________ d. Record any commands that are necessary to correct the static NAT configuration error. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ e. From PC-A, ping Lo0 on the ISP router. Do any NAT debug translations appear on the Gateway router? ____________________________________________________________________________________ f. On the Gateway router, enter the command that allows you to observe the total number of current NATs. Write the command in the space below. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Is the static NAT occurring successfully? Why? ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ g. On the Gateway router, enter the command that allows you to view the current configuration of the router. Write the command in the space below. ____________________________________________________________________________________ h. Are there any problems with the current configuration that prevent the static NAT from occurring? ____________________________________________________________________________________ i. Record any commands that are necessary to correct the static NAT configuration errors. ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________________________________ j. From PC-A, ping Lo0 on the ISP router. Do any NAT debug translations appear on the Gateway router? ____________________________________________________________________________________ k. Use the show ip nat translations verbose command to verify static NAT functionality. Note: The timeout value for ICMP is very short. If you do not see all the translations in the output, redo the ping. Is the static NAT translation occurring successfully? ____________________ If static NAT is not occurring, repeat the steps above to troubleshoot the configuration.

There is no way to effectively list all the combinations of configurations for each router class. This table includes identifiers for the possible combinations of Ethernet and Serial interfaces in the device. The table does not include any other type of interface, even though a specific router may contain one. An example of this might be an ISDN BRI interface. The string in parenthesis is the legal abbreviation that can be used in Cisco IOS commands to represent the interface.
