Your organization has been assigned a single public IP address by your ISP. You need to configure your Cisco router so that multiple internal hosts with private IP addresses can access the internet simultaneously through this single public IP address. Which feature should you implement to meet this requirement?
To allow multiple internal hosts to access the internet simultaneously using a single public IP address, you should configure Dynamic NAT with overload. This method, also known as Port Address Translation (PAT), maps multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address by differentiating sessions with unique source port numbers. Static NAT maps one private IP to one public IP, and Dynamic NAT without overload requires a pool of public IPs equal to the number of concurrent sessions, which doesn't meet the requirement of using a single public IP. Static NAT with overload is not a standard or valid configuration.
