World of Computer Networking Your CCNA start - Dynamic Network Address Translation (NAT)

The video tutorial explains the concepts of static and dynamic NAT, focusing on how public IP addresses are assigned to private IP addresses. It discusses the dynamic assignment of IPs, the management of NAT tables, and the reuse of IP addresses. The differences between dynamic and static NAT are highlighted, and an introduction to dynamic PAT is provided.

What is the primary function of static NAT?

• To translate port numbers for network traffic

• To assign multiple public IP addresses to a single private IP address

• To assign a single public IP address to a single private IP address

• To dynamically assign IP addresses based on network traffic

What happens to a public IP address when there is no data transmission from a host?

• It is converted into a private IP address

• It remains permanently assigned to the host

• It is assigned to another host immediately

• It is removed from the NAT table and can be reused

How does dynamic NAT differ from static NAT?

• Dynamic NAT assigns IP addresses based on host activity

• Static NAT uses port numbers for translation

• Dynamic NAT requires manual IP address configuration

• Static NAT assigns IP addresses based on host activity

What is a potential downside of using dynamic NAT?

• It does not support private IP addresses

• It is slower than static NAT

• It requires a large pool of public IP addresses

• It cannot handle multiple connections simultaneously

What is the next topic mentioned after dynamic NAT?

• Static NAT

• Network Security

• Dynamic PAT (Port Address Translation)

• IP Address Reservation
