Configuring Client NAT Pools
To configure DFP, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure the dynamic feedback protocol:
Router(config-module-csm)# dfp password password
Router(config-slb-dfp)# agent 123.234.34.55 5 6 10 20
Router(config-slb-dfp)# exit
Configuring Client NAT Pools
When you configure client Network Address Translation (NAT) pools, NAT converts the source IP
address of the client requests into an IP address on the server-side VLAN. Use the NAT pool name in the
serverfarm submode of the nat command to specify which connections need to be configured for client
NAT pools.
To configure client NAT pools, perform this task:
This example shows how to configure client NAT pools:
Router(config)# natpool pool1 102.36.445.2 102.36.16.8 netmask 255.255.255.0
Router(config)# serverfarm farm1
Router(config-slb-sfarm)# nat client pool1
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config-module-csm)# dfp [password
password ]
Configures DFP manager, supplies an optional
password, and enters the DFP agent submode
1, 2
.
1. Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.
2. The no form of this command restores the defaults.
Step 2
Router(config-slb-dfp)# agent ip-address port
[ activity-timeout [ retry-count
[
retry-interval ]]]
Configures the time intervals between keepalive
messages, the number of consecutive
connection attempts or invalid DFP reports, and
the interval between connection attempts
2
.
Step 3
Router# show module csm slot dfp [agent
[detail |
ip-address port ] | manager
[
ip_addr ] | detail | weights]
Displays DFP manager and agent information.
Command Purpose
Step 1
Router(config-module-csm)# natpool pool-name
start-ip end-ip
netmask mask
Configures a content-switching NAT. You must
create at least one client address pool to use this
command
1, 2
.
1. Enter the exit command to leave a mode or submode. Enter the end command to return to the menu’s top level.
2. The no form of this command restores the defaults.
Step 2
Router(config-module-csm)# serverfarm
serverfarm-name
Enters the serverfarm submode to apply the
client NAT.
Step 3
Router(config-slb-sfarm)# nat client
clientpool-name
Associates the configured NAT pool with the
server farm.
Step 4
Router# show module csm natpool [name
pool-name ] [detail]
Displays the NAT configuration.
