  • 1.  NAT on MX240

    Posted 04-01-2020 09:15

    Hi.

     

    I have an MX240 with SCBE2-MX and RE-S-1800X4-16G routing engine and MPC5E-40G10G line card and I need to implement this NAT scenarios:

     

    - Internal office network which has to be source natted with PAT to a small puplic IP pool. 20 internal ips to 3 public ips.

    - Some port redirects, direct a port from external IP to a local port on internal PC (open a port).

     

    From what I read, I need an MS-MPC or MS-DPC because MPC5E-40G10G only does static NAT. I guess, that MS boards are for doing serious things like CGNAT and having a large amount of subscribers. Is it possible to have this sipmle scenarios implemented without buying extra licenses or hardware? If I buy a MS-DPC, will I need additional licensing?

     

    There is total mess in my head, I can't understand what I can and what I can't do with MX240. Can somebody help? I've spent a day looking for manuals and the way of making NAT work, but it is not working for me.

     

    Regards

    MPC cards only support inline static NAT, only 1:1 source, destination or twice NAT is supported. For doing inline NAT, serivce-inline (si) interface must be used. There are two ways of configuring NAT: using interface or next-hop service-sets. The si- interface serves as a “virtual service PIC”.

     

    There is a very good explanation of NAT in the book Juniper MX Series by Douglas Richard Hanks Jr., Harry Reynolds.

     

    This article helped me as well.
