Network Address Translation - Cisco ASA and ASAx Firewalls
What you'll learn
- Network Address Translation (NAT)
- Static NAT, Static PAT, Dynamic PAT, Dynamic NAT, Policy NAT, Twice NAT, Identity NAT, NAT Exemption
- Syntax and Configuration of NAT on Cisco ASA and ASAx Firewalls
- Operation and Verification of NAT on Cisco ASA and ASAx Firewalls
Requirements
- Basic understanding of computer networks
Description
This course has three modules.
The first module will teach you Everything there is to know about Network Address Translation: Why it exists, How it it works, What happens to packets as they get translated. This module will explain every type of translation: Static NAT, Static PAT, Dynamic PAT, and Dynamic NAT. You'll learn about each of these in a way that is completely vendor agnostic -- the concepts you learn here will apply to any vendor and any platform. You'll then learn how these four types of translations are used in Policy NAT and Twice NAT.
The second module will teach you the Syntax and Configuration of every type of NAT. There are two ways to configure NAT on a Cisco ASA and ASAx Firewall, and those two ways are Auto NAT and Manual NAT. Both of these methods require the use of objects, so this module starts with by defining and configuring objects. Then we discuss Auto NAT, when to use it and how to configure it. Then we talk through Manual NAT and provide configuration examples of every type of NAT it can configure. That leads us into an illustration of NAT Exemption. Finally, we finally wrap up with a discussion on NAT precedence and the order in which NAT statements are evaluated by the ASA..
Lastly, the third module will circle back to the concepts learned in the first module, and actually prove and demonstrate every claim that was made about NAT. The goal of this course is not only to tell you how NAT works, but also to prove it to you so you can see it for yourself.
Who this course is for:
- Network Engineers / Admins looking to Truly understand NAT
- CCNA/CCNP Security Certification candidates
- Anyone who configures or troubleshoots NAT on a Cisco Firewall

Hello! My name is Ed Harmoush. I'm a Network Engineer and my primary goal is to make YOU a Network Engineer too!
I've been in this industry for over 15 years, and I got started by self-studying my way into the field. Which uniquely positions me as the perfect instructor to teach you what it takes to be a successful engineer.
I'm not going to bore you with mundane history and memorization, I'm going to share real, practical skills that are relevant and applicable to the current Network Engineering career field.
I've been on the front lines of companies like Amazon and Rackspace. Many of my students that have gone on to work for companies like Google, Facebook, Microsoft, F5, and Cisco.
The technical articles I've published on my blog have reached nearly 500,000 unique users. The videos on my Youtube channel have been viewed over 500,000 times. You'll be hard pressed to find content with the level of quality that I produce.
Join me to learn Network Engineering in a way that will not only get you certified, but also enable you to pass interviews.
Thank you for your interest in my courses. I look forward to having you in class =)
All the best,
Ed Harmoush
