Configuring an Inside and Outside Address Pool Map (NAT44)

Perform this task to configure an inside and outside address pool map with the following scenarios:

Note

Do not configure multiple outside address-pools to be mapped to a single inside-vrf. If you have multiple outside address-pools to be mapped, then create multiple inside-vrfs and map each outside address-pool to a single inside-vrf inside the NAT44 configuration.

The designated address pool is used for CNAT.
One inside VRF is mapped to only one outside VRF.
Multiple non-overlapping address pools can be used in a specified outside VRF mapped to different inside VRF.
Max Outside public pool per CGSE/CGN instance is 64 K or 65536 addresses. That is, if a /16 address pool is mapped, then we cannot map any other pool to that particular CGSE.
Multiple inside vrf cannot be mapped to same outside address pool.
While Mapping Outside Pool Minimum value for prefix is 16 and maximum value is 26.

Predefined NAT

In classic NAT, the process of mapping a private IP to a public IP or a private port to an outside port is random. Therefore, it becomes difficult to track the subscribers using an IP and a port at a given time. Predefined NAT avoids this random process by mapping a private IP address to a range of ports associated with the corresponding public IP address. This is done through an algorithm that helps the user to recognize a private IP address without having to refer to the massive CGN logs. The address and port translation is done in accordance with the algorithm.

In a predefined NAT configuration, if you want to trace a subscriber’s private IP address from a public IP address and the associated port, perform the following steps:

Whenever NAT is configured on a router or when there is a change in the existing configuration, use the following command to get the complete mapping information of private to public users:

show cgn nat44 instance-name mapping {inside-address | outside-address} inside-vrfvrf-instance start-addr start address [ end-addrend address]

In the above command, specify the lowest address of the configured public IP pool as start address and the highest address of the pool as end address. This command dumps all the mapping for each private IP, the translated public IP, and port range. It is recommended that you divert this output in to a file and save it for future reference. Save this output to separate files each time you change the NAT44 configuration parameters and note down the time at which the changes were made and the corresponding file name.
Whenever there is a request to trace back the subscriber’s private IP address, access the right file based on the timestamp provided. The file will have the public IP and port range to which the specified port belongs. The private IP address in that row will help identify the subscriber.

Considerations and Limitations of Predefined NAT

The considerations and the limitations of the predefined mode for NAT 44 are as follows:

You can configure the predefined mode for each of the inside VRF instance.
A new parameter, private address range, has been added to the NAT 44 configuration for the predefined mode. You can specify a minimum of one private address range to a maximum of eight private address ranges. Ensure that you specify atleast one private address range because the available public addresses and the associated ports are mapped to the private addreses specified in this range. If the incoming packet has an address that is outside the private address range, then the packet is discarded. Ensure that the sum of all addresses should not exceed one million across all predefined mode-enabled VRFs.
The Bulk Port Allocation configuration is not available in the predefined mode. If you try to configure Bulk Port Allocation on an inside VRF that has the predefined mode enabled, the configuration is rejected during verification.
The port-preservation option is not available in the predefined mode.
The global port limit parameter is not available for the predefined mode. Even though you will be allowed to configure the global port limit, the inside VRF, which has predefined mode enabled, ignores that port limit and uses the port limit configured by the algorithm.
If you turn the predefined mode on or off for an inside VRF during the active translations, all the translations on that VRF are deleted.
If a request for configuring static port on a private address that is not in the address range is made, the request is rejected.
Ensure that you configure NetFlow or syslog only if it is very much required.
Any configuration change that results in changes in mapping deletes the existing translations. Therefore, ensure that you record such configuration changes. You might need this information to trace the port usage by a subscriber.
Ensure uniform port allocation uniform for all subscribers.

FTP-ALG

CGN supports both passive and active FTP. FTP clients are supported with inside (private) address and servers with outside (public) addresses. Passive FTP is provided by the basic NAT function. Active FTP is used with the ALG.

RTSP-ALG

CGN supports the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP), an application-level protocol for control over the delivery of data with real-time properties. RTSP provides an extensible framework to enable controlled, on-demand delivery of real-time data, such as audio and video. Sources of data can include both live data feeds and stored clips.

PPTP-ALG

PPTP is a network protocol that enables secure transfer of data from a remote client to a private enterprise server by creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN). It is used to provide IP security at the network layer. PPTP uses a control channel over TCP and a GRE tunnel operating to encapsulate PPP packets.

PPTP-ALG is a CGN solution that allows traffic from all clients through a single PPTP tunnel.

A PPTP tunnel is instantiated on the TCP port. This TCP connection is then used to initiate and manage a second GRE tunnel to the same peer.

PPTP uses an access controller and network server to establish a connection.

PPTP Access Controller (PAC)

A device attached to one or more PSTN or ISDN lines capable of PPP operation and handling the PPTP protocol. It terminates the PPTP tunnel and provides VPN connectivity to a remote client.

PPTP Network Server (PNS)

A device which provides the interface between the Point-to-Point Protocol (encapsulated in the PPTP protocol) and a LAN or WAN. The PNS uses the PPTP protocol to support tunneling between a PPTP PAC and the PNS. It requests to establish a VPN connectivity using PPTP tunnel.

Control Connection

A control connection is established between a PAC and a PNS for TCP.

Tunnel

A tunnel carries GRE encapsulated PPP datagrams between a PAC and a PNS

Note

Active FTP, PPTP ALG, and RTSP ALG are supported on NAT44 applications. Active FTP and RTSP ALG are supported on DS-Lite applications.

TCP Maximum Segment Size Adjustment

Static Port Forwarding

Static port forwarding helps in associating a private IP address and port with a statically allocated public IP and port. After you have configured static port forwarding, this association remains intact and does not get removed due to timeouts until the CGSE is rebooted. In case of redundant CGSE cards, it remains intact until both of the CGSEs are reloaded together or the router is reloaded. There are remote chances that after a reboot, this association might change. This feature helps in cases where server applications running on the private network needs access from public internet.

Note

NAT64 on VSM does not support static port forwarding.

The optional ignore-port keyword is used to disable the port-dependent filtering.
Step 6	end or commit Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# end or RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-if)# commit`	Saves configuration changes. When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting (yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

SUMMARY STEPS

configure
service cgn instance-name
service-type nat44 nat1
inside-vrf vrf-name
map [outside-vrf outside-vrf-name] address-pool address/prefix
nat-mode no-nat
end or commit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure`	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	service cgn instance-name Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# service cgn cgn1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn)#`	Configures the instance named cgn1 for the CGN application and enters CGN configuration mode.
Step 3	service-type nat44 nat1 Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn)# service-type nat44 nat1`	Configures the service type keyword definition for CGN NAT44 application.
Step 4	inside-vrf vrf-name Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-nat44)# inside-vrf insidevrf1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)#`	Configures an inside VRF named insidevrf1 and enters CGv6 inside VRF configuration mode.
Step 5	map [outside-vrf outside-vrf-name] address-pool address/prefix Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)# map outside-vrf ovrf outsideServiceApp ServiceApp2 address-pool 0.0.0.0/0`	Configures an inside VRF to an outside VRF and address pool mapping.
Step 6	nat-mode no-nat Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)# nat-mode no-nat`	Specifies the NAT0 or NAT bypass mode for NAT44.
Step 7	end or commit Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf-natmode)# end or RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf-natmode)# commit`	Saves configuration changes. When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting (yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes. Use the commit command to save the configuration changes to the running configuration file and remain within the configuration session.

service cgn instance-name
service-type nat44 nat1
inside-vrf vrf-name
map [outside-vrf outside-vrf-name] address-pool address/prefix
static-mapping-file direction i2o-dst path of the .csv file
end or commit

DETAILED STEPS

	Command or Action	Purpose
Step 1	configure Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router# configure`	Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2	service cgn instance-name Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config)# service cgn cgn1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn)#`	Configures the instance named cgn1 for the CGN application and enters CGN configuration mode.
Step 3	service-type nat44 nat1 Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn)# service-type nat44 nat1`	Configures the service type keyword definition for CGN NAT44 application.
Step 4	inside-vrf vrf-name Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-nat44)# inside-vrf insidevrf1 RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)#`	Configures an inside VRF named insidevrf1 and enters CGN inside VRF configuration mode.
Step 5	map [outside-vrf outside-vrf-name] address-pool address/prefix Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)# map outside-vrf outside vrf1 address-pool 10.10.0.0/16 or RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf)# map address-pool 100.1.0.0/16`	Configures an inside VRF to an outside VRF and address pool mapping.
Step 6	static-mapping-file direction i2o-dst path of the .csv file Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf-afi)# static-mapping-file direction i2o-dst /disk0:/30K.CSV`	Configures static destination address translation using the static mapping configuration file (.csv). In this example, the file is stored in disk0: location.
Step 7	end or commit Example: `RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf-afi)# end or RP/0/RP0/CPU0:router(config-cgn-invrf-afi)# commit`	Saves configuration changes. When you issue the end command, the system prompts you to commit changes: Uncommitted changes found, commit them before exiting (yes/no/cancel)? [cancel]: Entering yes saves configuration changes to the running configuration file, exits the configuration session, and returns the router to EXEC mode. Entering no exits the configuration session and returns the router to EXEC mode without committing the configuration changes. Entering cancel leaves the router in the current configuration session without exiting or committing the configuration changes.
