Man You Explain well

[@freshdeveloper]

Thank you, i am improving

[@ravikumars764]

Could you let me know from where did you create the IP address 50.50.50.100 in PA and assign it as public IP for webserver?

[@pradeepkumarkaraka4966]

Also on the same Source NAT you applied destination NAT which is not required because we already have a D-NAT from Untrust to Untrust to NAT from 50.50.50.100 to 10.1.1.100 which takes care of traffic from Untrust to DMZ.

[@freshdeveloper]

That's right, i just demonstrated that we can do both on same policy.

[@devhunjan]

For the destination NAT rules you have setup, shouldn't be the destination zone in security policy be DMZ instead of Untrust ?

[@freshdeveloper]

It's for outside traffic....

[@sumanratnalu1717]

No NAT or Security policy required from Untrust DMZ ? As the server is in DMZ zone right!! please clarify.

[@freshdeveloper]

It will be required to allow traffic from Untrust to DMZ.

[@sumanratnalu1717]

@@freshdeveloper Thanks for the response but in the video you created only from trust to untrust. And it started working.

[@khurshidkhandy6622]

Hello Sir, it seems Security policy for inbound ACL is wrong. As per my understanding the destination Zone and IP should pre Nat BUT POST ZONE. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@freshdeveloper]

Can you be little specific at what time duration of the video you are referring May explain better....

[@pradeepkumarkaraka4966]

First security policy cannot be untrust to untrust because as per Packet flow NAT happens first so zone gets changed so it should be Untrust to Trust but IP remains pre-nat IP

[@freshdeveloper]

I don't think NAT happens first. it looks up the NAT if its required or not. But actually security policy checks first and then NAT takes place.
