What command would be used as part of configuring NAT or PAT to link the inside local addresses to the pool of addresses available for PAT translation?

The command to configure NAT or PAT that links the inside local addresses to the pool of addresses available for PAT translation requires specifying the NAT type and the source. The command "ip nat inside source list 14 pool POOL-STAT overload" is used to assign translations for the inside local addresses defined by access list 14 to the addresses in the pool named POOL-STAT. The key aspect of this command is the use of "overload," which allows multiple inside local addresses to be mapped to a single outside global address. This is particularly useful for conserving public IP addresses, as it enables dynamic IP address assignment for multiple hosts.

The command functions as follows: the access list (numbered 14 in this case) identifies which inside local addresses will be permitted to use the translation pool for outgoing traffic. The specified NAT pool (POOL-STAT) includes the public addresses that will be assigned to connections initiated by devices with the inside local addresses.

This is a critical part of setting up PAT (Port Address Translation), which increases the efficiency of IP address usage, especially in scenarios where it is necessary to connect numerous devices to the Internet simultaneously using a limited number of public IP addresses.
