A network engineer needs to configure Network Address Translation (NAT) on a router to translate multiple internal private IP addresses to a pool of public IP addresses provided by the ISP. The public address pool ranges from 209.165.200.226 to 209.165.200.230 with a netmask of 255.255.255.248. Which command should the engineer use to define the NAT pool?
ip nat inside source list 1 pool NET_POOL overload
ip nat pool NET_POOL 209.165.200.225 209.165.200.229 netmask 255.255.255.248
ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.1 209.165.200.226
ip nat pool NET_POOL 209.165.200.226 209.165.200.230 netmask 255.255.255.248
The command ip nat pool NET_POOL 209.165.200.226 209.165.200.230 netmask 255.255.255.248 correctly defines a NAT pool named 'NET_POOL' with the specified starting and ending IP addresses and netmask. This pool is then used to translate internal private IP addresses to the public IP addresses when configuring NAT.
'ip nat pool NET_POOL 209.165.200.225 209.165.200.229 netmask 255.255.255.248' is incorrect because it specifies an incorrect IP range (209.165.200.225 to 209.165.200.229) that doesn't match the given public address pool.
'ip nat inside source list 1 pool NET_POOL overload' is incorrect because it applies NAT translation using an access list and a pool but does not define the NAT pool itself.
'ip nat inside source static 192.168.1.1 209.165.200.226' is incorrect because it configures a static NAT translation for a single IP address rather than defining a pool for multiple addresses.
