  111. What is static NAT?
    • refers to the creation of a one-to-one mapping of anInside Local IP to an Inside Global IP.
    • gives hosts such as mail or web servers access to the Internet even though they are physically on the private network.
    • It allows us to access that web server from the Internet by creating a static NAT entry from an outside global IP to the server's inside local IP
  112. Does Static NAT conserve IP addresses?
    no
  113. What is dynamic NAT?
    Enables an inside host to get an outside address when needed; this saves us the trouble of creating multiple static maps, one for each host that wants to use the Internet
