Description

NAT in Junos Packet-Mode is not working

Symptoms

This article applies to:


Symptoms:
  • NAT is configured, but it is not working.  The IP addresses are not translated.
  • Is NAT supported on device in packet-mode?

Solution

NAT does not work on a device in packet-mode. This is because NAT is a security feature, and it does not pertain to Junos devices that are NOT running Security Services (i.e. in Packet-Mode).  Security Services uses Flow Mode.

This applies to all three categories of NAT:

  •    Source NAT
  •    Destination NAT
  •    Static NAT
