What are NAT IP pools?

 NAT IP pools are a range of IP addresses that are allocated for NAT translation as needed. To define a pool, the configuration command is used:

ip nat pool <name> <start-ip> <end-ip> 
     {netmask <netmask> | prefix-length <prefix-length>}
     [type {rotary}]

Example 1

The following example translates between inside hosts addressed from either the 192.168.1.0 or 192.168.2.0 network to the globally unique 10.69.233.208/28 network:

ip nat pool net-208 10.69.233.208 10.69.233.223 prefix-length 28 
ip nat inside source list 1 pool net-208
!
interface ethernet 0
ip address 10.69.232.182 255.255.255.240
ip nat outside
!
interface ethernet 1
ip address 192.168.1.94 255.255.255.0
ip nat inside
!
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
access-list 1 permit 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255

Example 2

In the following example, the goal is to define a virtual address, connections to which are distributed among a set of real hosts. The pool defines the addresses of the real hosts. The access list defines the virtual address. If a translation does not already exist, TCP packets from serial interface 0 (the outside interface) whose destination matches the access list are translated to an address from the pool.

ip nat pool real-hosts 192.168.15.2 192.168.15.15 prefix-length 28 type rotary
ip nat inside destination list 2 pool real-hosts
!
interface serial 0
ip address 192.168.15.129 255.255.255.240
ip nat outside
!
interface ethernet 0
ip address 192.168.15.17 255.255.255.240
ip nat inside
!
access-list 2 permit 192.168.15.1
