Dynamic NAT
Dynamic Port Address Translation. Dynamic PAT lets multiple outbound sessions appear to originate
Dynamic PAT
from a single IP address. With PAT enabled, the adaptive security appliance chooses a unique port
number from the PAT IP address for each outbound translation slot (xlate). This feature is valuable
when an
pool addresses always come first, before a PAT address is used. See also NAT,

F
Failover lets you configure two adaptive security appliances so that one will take over operation if the
failover, failover
other one fails. The adaptive security appliance supports two failover configurations, Active/Active
mode
failover and Active/Standby failover. Each failover configuration has its own method for determining
and performing failover. With Active/Active failover, both units can pass network traffic.
Active/Active failover lets you configure load balancing on your network. Active/Active failover is
only available on units running in multiple context mode. With Active/Standby failover, only one unit
passes traffic while the other unit waits in a standby state. Active/Standby failover is available on units
running in either single or multiple context mode.
