Network address translation (NAT) solves the problem of allowing a device with a non-routable, private IP address to get routed to the public Internet by allowing routers to manipulate the packet and segment headers. In this course, Network Address Translation Operation and Configuration, you’ll learn all about how this works. First, you’ll get an introduction to NAT, its history, and why it was developed. Next, you’ll spend some time exploring the different types of NAT. Finally you’ll learn how to implement and troubleshoot static NAT, dynamic NAT with overload, and port forwarding. By the end of this course, you will be able to implement all the different types of NAT in your environment.
