Question 520
The NAT logs show that a connection matched automatic source translation for an inside network and automatic destination translation for a published service. An operator assumes one manual first-match rule excludes the other automatically created rule. A proposed change would be to create a Manual NAT rule with both translated fields, which addresses the different requirement to translate the source and destination IP in one connection. Which action instead addresses the observed incident?
Explanation
Correct Answer
Automatic NAT can enforce matching source and destination rules. This directly addresses the documented incident evidence.
Incorrect Answers
The Access Control NAT policy contains manual translation rules; this does not resolve the observed condition.
Only the first matching Manual NAT rule is enforced, yet that applies to understand behavior when several Manual NAT rules could match rather than the observed issue.
Manual NAT allows simultaneous source and destination translation, but the current evidence calls for a different R82 operation.
