362 Chapter 11: Scaling IP Addresses with NAT
Scenario 11-3
Your company has merged with another company of equal size and you have both been using
the 10.0.0.0 network as a base for your internal network numbering. Management has promised
a bonus if you can get minimal communication between the ABCServer and the XYZServer by
this weekend. The ABCServer is on your network, and the XYZServer is on the other network.
The address in your space for the ABCServer is 10.1.0.1/24, and the address in the new
company's space is 10.1.0.18/24.
Users in the ABC network should be able to talk to the XYZServer, and the users in the XYZ
network should be able to talk to the ABCServer. For simplicity, assume that all addresses are
10.1.0.x/24. Based on this information, answer or complete the following questions and tasks.
1
Explain what you will do to quickly complete the overall task.
2
Create the NAT configuration that would be used for this connection.
3
What considerations, other than NAT, must be addressed to allow the configuration to
happen?
4
What is your long-term recommendation for the configuration and how can you
implement it?
