NAT list with DENY

Aug 10, 2007 2 Replies

Hi!



I found a configuration like this on a router and it works, but I do not understand it. There is a NAT list with a deny statement at the beginning. When I look at the NAT translation, all NATs are using the source ip-address 192.168.2.111 of the interface, but this ip-address is denied in the list. So how does this work? I usually would configure the access-list 30 with permit 192.168.2.111 and deny any.



! interface FastEthernet0.99 description myIF encapsulation dot1Q 99 ip address 192.168.2.111 255.255.255.0 ip nat outside ip virtual-reassembly ! ip nat inside source list 30 interface FastEthernet0.99 overload !



access-list 30 deny 192.168.2.111 access-list 30 permit any



Any ideas?



Thank you.

It means 'don't NAT this address'. NAT anything matched by a permit in access-list 30. However given that the address resides on the interface with 'ip nat outside' on it I really don't see the point??

Hi,

It works as it should. Any source IP addresses (but 192.168.2.111) coming from a "NAT inside" interface are natted (using the IP address configured on fa0.99). Personally I think the first "deny" is superfluous but since I'm very tired right now I could be utterly wrong.
