--------------------------- Tim, If I am not mistaken NAT is an application layer process thus any traffic initiated from the outside to the inside will need to have an IP and Port statically mapped!! As for the extendable....I am not sure if it is needed....I believe the extendable is used to allow two static translation with the same local address that does not have separate port translation assignment(the IOS does not normally allow this!!) ---------------------------
I see what you all are saying, however, isn't the 209.xxx.xxx.xxx address external? Why would an external address need to be statically mapped? Or is it impossible to telnet into the interface that is doing the NAT translation? Thanks all for clearing up the extendable issue.
