Web: Example for Configuring NAT No-PAT for Intranet Users to Access the Internet

This section provides an example for configuring NAT No-PAT for intranet users to access the Internet.

Networking Requirements

The FW serves as the security gateway at the border of a studio. A source NAT policy must be configured on the FW to allow users in network 10.1.1.0/24 to access the Internet. Only a small number of users need to access the Internet. Therefore, NAT No-PAT address translation mode can be configured on the FW to perform one-to-one translation between private and public addresses. The studio applied for six IP addresses (1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.15) from the ISP for address translation. Figure 1 shows the network environment. The router is the access gateway provided by the ISP.

Data Planning

Item		Data	Description
GigabitEthernet 0/0/1		IP address: 10.1.1.1/24 Security zone: trust	Set the default gateway address on each intranet host to 10.1.1.1.
GigabitEthernet 0/0/2		IP address: 1.1.1.1/24 Security zone: untrust	1.1.1.1/24 is a public address provided by the ISP.
Intranet segment that is allowed to access the Internet		10.1.1.0/24	-
Public addresses mapped to private addresses		1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.15	Only a small number of users need to access the Internet. Therefore, NAT NO-PAT is configured on the FW.
Routing information	FW's default route	Destination address: 0.0.0.0 Next hop address: 1.1.1.254	Configure a default route on the FW to direct intranet traffic to the ISP network.
Routing information	Router's static route	Destination address: 1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.15 Next hop address: 1.1.1.1	The public addresses mapped to private addresses are not assigned to physical ports. As a result, the router cannot use a routing protocol to discover routes to the public addresses. Ask the ISP network administrator to configure a static route destined for the network segment address of the address pool on the router.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Assign IP addresses to interfaces, add the interfaces to security zones, and configure network connectivity.
Configure a security policy to allow a specific intranet segment to access the Internet.
Configure a NAT address pool and disable port translation.
Configure a source NAT policy for translating source addresses between private and public address realms when hosts on the specific intranet segment access the Internet.
Configure a default route on the FW to direct intranet traffic to the ISP router.
Configure the IP address of the FW interface connected to the intranet as the default gateway address on each intranet host so that intranet traffic is directed to the FW when intranet hosts access the Internet.
Configure a static route on the ISP router for forwarding Internet traffic to the FW.

Procedure

Set IP addresses for interfaces on the FW and assign the interfaces to security zones.
1. Set the IP address of GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and assign the interface to a security zone.
  1. Choose Network > Interface.
  2. In Interface List, click of GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and set the parameters as follows:
    
    Zone
    
    trust
    
    IPv4
    
    IP Address
    
    10.1.1.1/24
  3. Click OK.
2. Set the IP address of GigabitEthernet 0/0/2 and assign the interface to a security zone.
  1. In Interface List, click of GigabitEthernet 0/0/2 and set the following parameters.
    
    Zone
    
    untrust
    
    IPv4
    
    IP Address
    
    1.1.1.1/24
  2. Click OK.
Configure a security policy to allow users on a specific network to access the Internet.
1. Choose Policy > Security Policy > Security Policy.
2. In Security Policy List, click Add, select Add Security Policy, and configure a security policy based on the following parameter values.
  
  Name
  
  policy1
  
  Source Zone
  
  trust
  
  Destination Zone
  
  untrust
  
  Source Address/Region
  
  10.1.1.0/24
  
  Action
  
  Permit
3. Click OK.
Configure a NAT address pool and a NAT policy.
1. Choose Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy > Source Translation Address Pool.
2. In Source Translation Address Pool List, click Add and configure a NAT address pool based on the following parameter values.
3. Click OK.
4. Choose Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy.
5. In NAT Policy List, click Add and configure a NAT policy based on the following parameter values.
6. Click OK.
Configure a default route on the FW, so that traffic from the private network can be forwarded to the ISP router.
1. Choose Network > Route > Static Route.
2. In Static Route List, click Add and configure a default route based on the following parameter values.
  
  Protocol
  
  IPv4
  
  Destination Address/Mask
  
  0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
  
  Next Hop
  
  1.1.1.254
3. Click OK.
On each PC, configure the IP address of the FW interface connected to the intranet as the default gateway address to direct intranet traffic to the FW. The detailed configuration process is omitted.
On the router, configure a static route destined for the network segment of the address pool (1.1.1.10 to 1.1.1.15) and set the next-hop address of the static route to 1.1.1.1 so that Internet traffic destined for the intranet server can be forwarded by the FW.
Contact your ISP administrator to perform this step.
