Configuring DNAT

DNAT is enabled in the config>service>nat>nat-policy context.

config>service>nat
nat-policy <nat-policy-name> create
dnat
dnat-only router <router-instance> nat-group <nat-group-id>
nat-classifier <classifier-name>
exit

DNAT function is triggered by the presence of the nat classifier (nat-classifier command), referenced in the NAT policy.DNAT-only option is configured in case where SNAPT is not required. This command is necessary to determine the outside routing context and the nat-group when SNAPT is not configured. Pool (relevant to SNAPT) and DNAT-only configuration options within the NAT policy are mutually exclusive.
