Configuring NAT to Support Unicast Messaging

This section describes how to configure a Cisco CMTS router for Network Address Translation (NAT) to
enable the use of IP unicast addresses for DSG messaging. This allows the Cisco CMTS router to translate
incoming IP unicast addresses into the appropriate IP multicast address for the DSG traffic.
For the Cisco cBR-8 router, A-DSG 1.2 can use an external router that is close to the Cisco CMTS to support
unicast messaging. In this case, the nearby router must support NAT, and then send the address-translated
multicast IP packets to the Cisco CMTS.
Tip This procedure should be performed after the cable interface has already been configured for DSG
operations, as described in the
The Cisco CMTS router supports NAT only when it is running an "IP Plus" (-i-) Cisco IOS software image.
Note
Refer to the release notes for your Cisco IOS release for complete image availability and requirements.
