CCNA: NAT and PAT Explanation

NAT and PAT Explanation

NAT and PAT main features:
NAT (Network Address Translation) can be used for a variety of purposes and can be either dynamically or statically assigned. Static NAT is designed to allow one-to-one mapping of local and global addresses. This is particularly useful for hosts which must have a consistent address that is accessible from the Internet. These internal hosts may be enterprise servers or networking devices.
