Configuring Network Address Translation (NAT)
ip nat translation max-entries
Use this command to configure the maximum number of translation entries.
Syntax
ip nat translation max-entries number
no ip nat translation max-entries
Parameters
number
Defaults
None.
Mode
Router command, Global configuration: Matrix‐>Router(config)#
Usage
32,000 entries is currently the maximum value allowed for this command. Certain applications
such as NAT, LSNAT, TWCB share the same hardware resource pool of 32,000 on a first come first
serve basis. Lowering this value assures resources will be available for other applications.
The no version of the command resets the number of maximum entries to the default value.
Example
This example sets the maximum number of NAT translation entries to 20000:
Matrix->Router(config)#ip nat translation max-entries 20000
ip nat translation (timeouts)
Use this command to configure the maximum timeout value in seconds per flow type.
Syntax
ip nat translation {timeout | udp-timeout | tcp-timeout | icmp-timeout |
dns-timeout | ftp-timeout} [seconds]
no ip nat translation max-entries
Parameters
timeout
udp‐timeout
tcp‐timeout
icmp‐timeout
