Configure Cisco router overload NAT (IOS 15)

Question

I am attempting to configure a Cisco 2901 router using IOS 15 to properly perform NAT/PAT translation between LAN and the internet connection. I've configured DHCP pool for the local interface, which works properly (even using an additional switch, wireless access point, ...). Likewise, the WAN interface is configured to obtain its own IP by DHCP from the ISP. I can work on the LAN computers and I can access the internet directly from the router (using, for example, telnet and router's ping commands). The problem is, NAT does not work properly and connection from the LAN interface (GigabitEthernet0/1) does not reach the WAN interface (GigabitEthernet0/0).

I have followed several guides on the matter, but it seems that no matter what I do, NAT just doesn't seem to work. I have tried both the interface GigabitEthernet0/0 overload NAT inside source list and the NAT pool source list (being the current ISP-assigned IP) described in the guides.

Attached is the complete configuration, hoping someone finds the problem I have missed.

UPDATE 1:

Tried specifying outbound rules by adding

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip access-group lan_out out
!
ip access-list extended la_out
 permit ip any any

but to no avail.

After that, also tried utilizing nat pools and route maps, resulting in

ip nat pool lan_np 1.2.3.135 1.2.3.135 prefix-length 24
ip nat inside source route-map natmap pool lan_np overload
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 GigabitEthernet0/0 permanent
!
ip access-list extended lan_out
 permit ip any any
!
access-list 101 permit ip 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255 any
!
!
!
!
route-map natmap permit 10
 match ip address lan_out

Both with and without any combination of ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 and either interface GigabitEthernet0/0 or the ISP default gateway IP. Results in an sh ip nat st of

offblast_odin#sh ip nat st

        type generic, total addresses 1, allocated 0 (0%), misses 0

Sadly, nothing so far worked. Full final configuration.

Solution

Can you show output of 'sh ip nat stat' and 'sh ip nat tran'?

I think the config looks correct, did you try applying an ACL on the outside interface to specifically allow the traffic?

interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 ip access-group OUTBOUND out
!
ip access-list extended OUTBOUND
 permit ip any any

here's a working example from a 1800 series:

interface FastEthernet0
 description $FW_OUTSIDE$
 bandwidth 34000
 ip address 1.2.3.141 255.255.255.240
 ip access-group OUTBOUND out
 ip verify unicast reverse-path
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip nat outside
 ip virtual-reassembly
 load-interval 60
 duplex auto
 speed auto
!
interface FastEthernet1
 description $FW_INSIDE$
 bandwidth 34000
 ip address 192.168.0.254 255.255.255.0
 no ip redirects
 no ip unreachables
 no ip proxy-arp
 ip nat inside
 ip virtual-reassembly
 load-interval 60
 duplex auto
 speed auto
!
ip nat pool GLOBAL_IP_POOL 1.2.3.139 1.2.3.141 prefix-length 24
ip nat inside source route-map natmap pool GLOBAL_IP_POOL overload
!
ip access-list extended natrules
 deny   ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.0.255 10.180.3.0 0.0.0.255
 permit ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any
!
route-map natmap permit 10
 match ip address natrules

Hope this helps.

Edited:

I cannot spot anything weird with your config. Since you seem not to have any hits in translation tables at all, there must be a problem either on the connectivity or configuration on the client, or simply an access-list that denies the traffic.

Can you:

1) ping from the router, make sure you do it from the correct interface by entering:

ping 8.8.8.8 source 10.1.1.1

2) show access-lists

show access-lists

I set up three routers in a lab and configured rip + nat, and it works just as it is. The router in question and the remote router that specifically denies the internal network of 'the router in question'.

Figures, I used the wrong site. Oh well. :/

[SiXoS]

From what are you testing this? Host on lan with this router as its default route?

[Naltharial]

Yes, the PC is connected to GigabitEthernet0/1 with IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.12 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.1.1.1, with all other interfaces (on the PC) disabled.

[SiXoS]

There seem to be a typo in the access-list, "la_out", was this only when you pasted or did you actually enter it incorrectly on the router?

[SiXoS]

Also, can you try pinging from the internal address of the router directly? 'ping ip 8.8.8.8 source 10.1.1.1'

[Naltharial]

tran is completely empty, stat has everything at 0, NAT doesn't even activate. I will try the outbound rule suggestion, thank you.

[Naltharial]

I've updated the OP with the attempts, but the router still refuses to even acknowledge the existence of NAT. :/

[Naltharial]

It appears that routing was actually what was wrong. I was playing with rip a bit and it seems one of them activated the routing to proceed as normal. Thanks! :D
