A.4.4 interfaces

Syntax:

nat interfaces

Description:

The

nat interfaces

command displays the IP router ports on which NAT is currently

enabled. For each of these, a status and IP address is listed. The IP address is

discovered automatically from the IP stack.

The status shows the user whether NAT is currently operational on that interface

(enabled), or whether NAT is still waiting to find out the interfaces IP address (not

ready).

Example:

> nat interfaces

Name Status IP address

ethernet enabled 194.129.40.2

ppp not ready -

A.4.5 ip nat

interface name is the name as listed by the

ip device

command. NAT should always

be enabled only on the interface connecting to the public network, not the interface

connecting to the private network.

Example:

> ip nat add ethernet
