Cisco ASA Series Firewall ASDM Configuration Guide
Chapter 6 Configuring NAT (ASA 8.2 and Earlier)
Configuring NAT Control
Figure 6-13 shows a web server and DNS server on the outside. The ASA has a static translation for the
outside server. In this case, when an inside user requests the address for ftp.cisco.com from the DNS
server, the DNS server responds with the real address, 209.165.20.10. Because you want inside users to
use the mapped address for ftp.cisco.com (10.1.2.56) you need to configure DNS reply modification for
the static translation.

Configuring NAT Control
NAT control requires that packets traversing from an inside interface to an outside interface match a NAT
rule. See the “NAT Control” section on page 6-4 for more information.
To enable NAT control, in the Configuration > Firewall > NAT Rules pane, check the Enable traffic
through the firewall without address translation check box.
