NAT Overload

Which form of NAT is most useful for preserving public IP addresses?

PAT / NAT Overload

What does a router do if a packet requires NAT but no inside global addresses are available?

It drops the packet

When an ACL is used to identify traffic in dynamic NAT/PAT, what happens to traffic permitted by the ACL?

It is translated by the router

When an ACL is used to identify traffic in dynamic NAT/PAT, what happens to traffic denied by the ACL?

It is not translated by the router (but the traffic is not dropped!)

In which form of NAT does the router automatically create one-to-one IP address mappings?

Dynamic NAT

In which form of NAT are multiple inside local addresses translated to a single inside global address at the same time?
