NAT in Routed and Transparent Mode
Figure 3-13 NAT Example: Transparent Mode
1.
When the inside host at 10.1.1.75 sends a packet to a web server, the real source address of the
packet, 10.1.1.75, is changed to a mapped address, 209.165.201.15.
2. When the server responds, it sends the response to the mapped address, 209.165.201.15, and the
ASA receives the packet because the upstream router includes this mapped network in a static route
directed to the ASA management IP address. See the “Mapped Addresses and Routing” section on
page 3-22 for more information about required routes.
3. The ASA then undoes the translation of the mapped address, 209.165.201.15, back to the real
address, 10.1.1.1.75. Because the real address is directly-connected, the ASA sends it directly to the
host.
4. For host 192.168.1.2, the same process occurs, except for returning traffic, the ASA looks up the
route in its routing table and sends the packet to the downstream router at 10.1.1.3 based on the ASA
static route for 192.168.1.0/24. See the “Transparent Mode Routing Requirements for Remote
Networks” section on page 3-24 for more information about required routes.
