Overview Of ASR5K-00-CS01NAT
The
ASR5K-00-CS01NAT is a Cisco ASR 5000 License developed specifically to enable
the Network Address Translation (NAT) functionality, supporting up to 1,000
sessions on Cisco ASR 5000 Series Routers. Network Address Translation (NAT) is
a strong function in networking that translates IP addresses within a network.
It is most commonly used to provide multiple devices in a private network (each
with its own private IP address) with access to the Internet using a single
public IP address. This functionality not only helps in optimizing the usage of
scarce IPv4 addresses but also adds a layer of security as the internal IP
addresses are hidden from the external network, reducing the exposure to
potential attacks. With the ASR5K-00-CS01NAT license, network administrators
can manage up to 1,000 sessions with NAT functionality, enhancing their network
scalability and security.
