Configuring NAT with Frame Relay

Hi,
I am preparing for my CCNA. I am using the Boson Netsim. In my network there are four router connected into the Frame relay cloud. EIGRP routing is running on each router. Each routers are able to ping with each other.

After that I gave the follwoing command for NATing on Router1


ip nat pool p1 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.255
ip nat inside source list 1 pool p1

access-list 1 permit 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255

r1(Config)int f0/0
r1(Config-if)ip nat inside
r1(Config)int s0/0
r1(Config-if)ip nat outside

when I checked after configuring this I found that the NAT was not working.

even the sh ip nat trans also blank.


Please some one help how to configure the NAT on Frame Relay network.

Note : The same Nat Configuration is working well if the router are connected through the Serial ports (Directly connected).


Thanks in advance

By default, Cisco's IP NAT assumes a 1 to 1 nat with each address, requiring a public subnet equal to or larger than the private subnet.

You need to enable PAT (Port address translation) in order to nat a private subnet to a single public address.

add 'overload' to the ip nat source line to enable PAT, and everything should work.
Also, it looks like your source line is directing the nat back to the inside.

Try this:
ip nat outside source list 1 pool p1 overload

Let us know how everything works out.

Try this:
ip nat outside source list 1 pool p1 overload

Did some more research and your source list should be ip nat inside like you specified before.

sorry about that..

but give overload a try. should make everything work.

Thanks for your reply.

My query is, I configured the router with the Sub-interfaces I hope because of that only my NAT configuration was not working....I dont find NAT command for each sub interfaces....

Please tell me how to configure the NAT for each sub-interfaces. Also let me know is I hv to configure the NAT globaly to all subinterface are by seperate...
