# NAT

The `nv unset` commands remove the configuration you set with the equivalent `nv set` commands. This guide only describes an `nv unset` command if it differs from the `nv set` command.

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action dest-nat translate-ip

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a destination IP address.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_2 rule 1 action dest-nat translate-ip 10.0.0.1

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action dest-nat translate-ip <ip-address-id> to <ip-address-id>

Configures a dynamic NAT rule to translate a destination IP address range.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<ip-address-id> to <ip-address-id>` | The IP address range.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_4 rule 1 action dest-nat translate-ip 172.30.58.0 to 172.30.58.80

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action dest-nat translate-mac

Configures MAC address translation to translate a destination MAC address to a public address. MAC address translation is equivalent to static NAT but operates at layer 2 on Ethernet frames.

--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl MACL2 rule 1 action dest-nat translate-mac 99:de:fc:32:11:01

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action dest-nat translate-port <port-id>

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a destination port.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<port-id>` | The port number.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_4 rule 1 action dest-nat translate-port 5000

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action source-nat translate-ip <ip-address-id>

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a source IP address.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<ip-address-id>` | The IP address.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_1 rule 1 action source-nat translate-ip 172.30.58.80

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action source-nat translate-ip <ip-address-id> to <ip-address-id>

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a source IP address range.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<ip-address-id> to <ip-address-id>` | The IP address range.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_1 rule 1 action source-nat translate-ip 172.30.58.0 to 172.30.58.80

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action source-nat translate-port <port-id>

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a source port.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<port-id>` | The port number.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl acl_3 rule 1 action source-nat translate-port 6000

## nv set acl <acl-id> rule <rule-id> action source-nat translate-mac <mac-address>

Configures a NAT action rule to translate a source MAC address to a public address. MAC address translation is equivalent to static NAT but operates at layer 2 on Ethernet frames.

### Command Syntax

Syntax | Description
--- | ---
`<acl-id>` | The ACL name.
`<rule-id>` | The ACL rule number.
`<mac-address>` | The MAC address.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set acl MACL1 rule 1 action source-nat translate-mac 99:de:fc:32:11:01

## nv set system nat age-poll-interval

Configures the period of inactivity (in minutes) before Cumulus Linux releases a NAT entry from the translation table. You can set a value between 1 and 1440. The default value is 5.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set system nat age-poll-interval 10

## nv set system nat mode dynamic

Enables and disables dynamic NAT mode. Dynamic NAT maps private IP addresses and ports to a public IP address and port range or a public IP address range and port range. Cumulus Linux assigns IP addresses from a pool of addresses dynamically. When the switch releases entries after a period of inactivity, it maps new incoming connections dynamically to the freed up addresses and ports.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set system nat mode dynamic

## nv set system nat rule-table-size

Configures the maximum number of NAT rules allowed. You can set a value between 64 and 1024. The default value is 64.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$ nv set system nat rule-table-size 100

## nv set system nat translate-table-size

Configures the maximum number of dynamic `snat` and `dnat` entries in the translation table. You can set a value between 1024 and 8192. The default value is 1024.

### Version History

Introduced in Cumulus Linux 5.7.0

### Example

    cumulus@switch:~$  nv set system nat translate-table-size 2048
