NAT sessions

[Tician]

Hello All,

Is anyone know how to see or debug nat translations on PAN device, similar like "sh ip nat translation" on cisco devices?

Hello Tician,

Here are some of the useful commands for NAT troubleshooting ( "nat-inside-2-outside" is the rule used for reference):

> show running nat-policy                    // Show currently deployed NAT policy

> show running nat-rule-cache               // Show all NAT rules of all versions in cache

> show running nat-rule-ippool rule nat-inside-2-outside       // NAT rule ippool usage

> debug dataplane nat sync-ippool rule nat-inside-2-outside          // To kill sessions pertaining to a particular NAT rule and re-sync the ippool

>> For a particular session, the NAT translation can be viewed as:

admin@88-PA-VM-300> show session all filter application ping

Probably you might have done this, but you can also bookmark this document for future reference:

Let me know if that is what you were looking for!

Hi,

Agree with Kadak but you can also enable "pre source NAT adress / Post NAT source adress" and "pre destination NAT adress / Post destination NAT adress" colum in monitor traffic page. And in this case, with no CLI, you have all info.

Hoipe help

Hello Tician,

As Vince stated earlier this is how it looks in Monitor Logs if we can enable the columns what is needed to be viewed.

We can enable the required columns by moving the cursor to the right most section of any column header where we get a drop down to select columns.

Hope this helps. !

Hello Tician,

As Phonenix said, you can look there. But you also can look in CLI, or Monitor Session...

show session all filter (filters) you can see what policy NAT the session passed.

Best Regards
