Steps of Configuring NAT for IP Address Conservation
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a process in which one or more local IP address is translated into one or more Global IP address and vice versa in order to provide Internet access to the local hosts. Also, it does the translation of port numbers i.e. masks the port number of the host with another port number, in the packet that will be routed to the destination. It then makes the corresponding entries of IP address and port number in the NAT table. NAT stands for Network Address Translation and is used for:
- Cost Savings
- Dealing with IPv4 address shortage
- Adds a layer of privacy
- Translation between local and private IPv4 addresses.
