NAT for new network

Post by lanwifi »

Hello,

I am new with Alcatel switches and I need some help to configure NAT for the new network I have created. The switchs are Alcatel OminiSwitch 6350 models.

The switch has VLAN 1 interface with 192.168.0.100 IP and 192.168.0.1 as GW:

Code: Select all

ip interface vlan-1 address 192.168.0.100/24 vlan 1
ip static-route 0.0.0.0 mask 0.0.0.0 gateway 192.168.0.1
I just create a new VLAN20 interface:

Code: Select all

vlan 20 name "GUEST"
ip interface vlan-20 address 192.168.20.1/24 vlan 20
vlan 20 port default 1/13-14
As the official documentation, I create the NAT this way:

Code: Select all

policy condition GUEST-NETWORK source ip 192.168.20.0 mask 255.255.255.0
policy action NAT-IP source rewrite ip 192.168.0.100
policy rule NAT-GUEST condition GUEST-NETWORK action NAT-IP
qos apply
There are lots of problem, some pings are not arriving to the destination and a bandwith test never get more than 7mbps, without the NAT I can get more than 100mbps . It looks that some packets are lost, I don't know how to explain, but it doesn't work well.

Could someone help to configure NAT for this switches?

I will really appreciate your help.

Best regards.

Do not use NAT at the switches. This isn't a good idea. Use router/firewall or AccessPoints for it.
