I agree that masquerade "overloads" the outside address. I guess what I am asking here is how can I monitor the "port-overload" usage of this masquerade. In the past when we have done customer NAT on cisco we would always have a pool of addresses to NAT to on the outside interface. The thought being that if we ran out of ports for the customers then it would begin doing translations onto the another address of the pool. At some point the number of customers to a single masquerade could case issues with port exhaustion.. is there way to monitor this counter or aspect through a log ..etc on the Tik?
thanks guys..I hope I am making this clear.. I appreciate all responses.
