You are the network administrator at your organization. You need to ensure that a web server in your internal network is accessible from the Internet. Since the network uses private addressing, you have configured IP-to-registered-address mapping using the following command on the router:

R1 (config)# ip nat inside source static 192.168.4.2198.18.4.254

Many users are complaining that they are not able to access the web server from the internet. You first try to ping from the internet, without much success. You then issue the show IP NAT translations command and obtain a blank output. Which of the following issues related to this NAT configuration could it most likely be?
  1. You have entered an incorrect command.
  2. NAT has to be configured on all the interfaces.
  3. NAT pool should be defined.
  4. An access list must be defined to create static NAT translations.
Explanation
Answer: B - This command displays a blank output because NAT has to be configured on all the interfaces.

Key Takeaway: The show IP NAT translations command displays translations that reside in the NAT translation table. All simple translation entries appear with inside/outside and local/global address information. All the extended entries appear with added protocol and port numbers (or query ID).
