Hi guys,

We have a nat 0 (nat exemption) network setup that uses PIX firewalls,
I am trying to implement policy NAT to ensure that certain traffic
types are NATed out to an external IP address and others stay internal
and pass over the PIX retaining their orginal IP address, it is
causing me a problem as it appears that NAT exemption does not support
policy nat, does anyone have any idea if this will be possible, if not
then any alternative suggestions would be appreciated

Cheers
Guy

Can you post relevant part of your configuration? In general, using NAT
exemption and policy NAT together shouldn't be a problem.

Regards,
Andrey.

I don't have it to hand right now as I have left the site - I am due
back for a couple of days but I will try and get hold of it in the
meantime. I took a look on Cisco's site this afternoon and found the
following in the section on policy NAT:

Note: All types of NAT support policy NAT except for NAT exemption
(nat 0 access-list). NAT exemption uses an access control list in
order to identify the local addresses, but differs from policy NAT in
that the ports are not considered.

Have you had Policy NAT running with NAT exemption before, I am trying
to policy NAT POP3 traffic to an external address to be routed
straight out and leave all other traffic passed through the PIX using
its internal address - do you think this should work?

Cheers
Guy

Yes I did. Hint - it doesn't have to be the same NAT ;-)

nat (nameif) 0 access-list
nat (nameif) 1 <your policy-NAT for POP3>
global (nameif) 1 <external IP for policy-NAT>

Make sure that destination in NAT exemption ACL does not overlap with
policy-NAT. In other words - "any" in both is bad idea.

Regards,
Andrey.

Thanks very much for that - I will give it another go, I was begining
to think it was a non starter. If I cant get it working I will post
the config later.

Cheers
