Case Projects

Case Project 1
The three types of NAT are static, dynamic, and PAT. Static NAT uses a one-to-one mapping of inside to
outside addresses. An inside address on a particular host will always be using the same outside
address. With dynamic NAT, outside addresses are assigned dynamically from a pool of addresses. The
administrator doesnt really care which outside IP address a host is assigned. Port Address Translation
translates between private internal IP addresses to a public external IP address with the addition of port
information. PAT uses the IP address on the external physical interface for translation.

Case Project 2
First, it is essential that DHCP is enabled on the router. It probably is because that is the default but just
in case, the command is service dhcp. Next, you must either configure a server to hold the DHCP
database using the ip dhcp database command or you must disable conflict logging using the no ip dhcp
conflict logging command. The only other commands you must configure are the ip dhcp pool command
to configure the pool name, and the network command which defines the valid IP addresses in the pool
by specifying the network number and the subnet mask. The optional commands include the ip dhcp
excluded-address command which will tell DHCP not to offer IP addresses already statically configured;

the default-router command, which will define the default gateway; and the dns-server and netbios-
name-server commands which will define the DNS and WINS server locations.

Case Project 3
Name resolution is important because without a process to do it, we would have to know the IP address
of every device we wanted to communicate with. The ip host command statically configures a hostname
to IP address mapping on a Cisco router. This is sometimes done for a few devices but it is not scalable
since every single device mapping must be typed into the router. If the mapping changes, the
administrator has to reconfigure it. The ip name-server command is more flexible. It points the router to
the IP address of a DNS server on the network. Since DNS is a dynamic process, all names referred to
by the router, will be resolved automatically by the server without router configuration. The dns-server
command shares the DNS server address with all hosts on the network via DHCP.
