How many addresses will be available for dynamic NAT translation when a router is configured
with the following commands?
Router(config)#ip nat pool TAME 209.165.201.23 209.165.201.30 netmask 255.255.255.224
Router(config)#ip nat inside source list 9 pool TAME
A.
7
B.
8
C.
9
D.
10
E.
24
F.
32
Explanation:
209.165.201.23 to 209.165.201.30 provides for 8 addresses.
ok so the netmask gives you 32 valid ip addresses, but the pool only goes from 123 thru 130 which is only 8 ip addresses in this dynamic nat
The .224 mask gives you 30 usable host addresses.
This doesn’t mean you have to use all 30 of them in the NAT pool.
Here, the network engineer decided only to use 8 (out of the 30 available).
This means he has another 22 addresses which can possibly be used in the future.
