Configuring static NAT 
Static NAT includes one-to-one static NAT and net-to-net static NAT for outbound and inbound 
translation. Do not configure inbound static NAT alone. Typically, inbound static NAT functions with 
outbound dynamic NAT, NAT Server, or outbound static NAT to implement bidirectional NAT. 
Configuration prerequisites 
Perform the following tasks before configuring static NAT: 
•  Configure an ACL to identify the IP addresses to be translated. The match criteria include the 
source IP address, source port number, destination IP address, destination port number, 
transport layer protocol, and VPN instance. For more information about ACLs, see ACL and 
QoS Configuration Guide. 
•  Manually add a route for inbound static NAT. Use local-ip or local-network as the destination 
address, and use global-ip, an address in global-network, or the next hop directly connected to 
the output interface as the next hop. 
Configuring outbound one-to-one static NAT 
For address translation from a private IP address to a public IP address, configure outbound 
one-to-one static NAT on the interface connected to the external network. 
•  When the source IP address of a packet from the private network matches the local-ip, the 
source IP address is translated into the global-ip. 
•  When the destination IP address of a packet from the public network matches the global-ip, the 
destination IP address is translated into the local-ip. 
To configure outbound one-to-one static NAT: 
 
Step Command Remarks 
1.  Enter system view. 
system-view 
N/A 
2.  Configure a one-to-one 
mapping for outbound static 
NAT. 
nat static outbound
 local-ip 
[
 vpn-instance
 
local-vpn-instance-name ] 
global-ip [ 
vpn-instance
 
global-vpn-instance-name ] [ 
acl
 
{ ipv4-acl-number | 
name
 
ipv4-acl-name } [ 
reversible
 ] ] 
[ 
disable
 ] 
By default, no mappings exist. 
If you specify the 
acl
 keyword, 
NAT processes only packets 
matching the permit rule in the 
ACL. 
3.  Return to system view. 
quit 
N/A 
4.  Enter interface view. 
interface 
interface-type 
interface-number 
N/A 
5.  Enable static NAT on the 
interface. 
nat static enable 
By default, static NAT is disabled.
 
Configuring outbound net-to-net static NAT 
For address translation from a private network to a public network, configure outbound net-to-net 
static NAT on the interface connected to the external network. 
•  When the source IP address of a packet from the private network matches the private address 
range, the source IP address is translated into a public address in the public address range.
