Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Manual Static NAT
Why this is correct
Manual NAT provides granular control, allowing static IP translation with port preservation options for inbound traffic.
- ✗
Auto NAT (Dynamic PAT)
Why it's wrong here
Dynamic PAT maps multiple internal IPs to a single or pool of public IPs using many-to-one port translation, not a 1-to-1 static mapping.
- ✗
Manual Identity NAT
Why it's wrong here
Identity NAT translates an IP address to itself, which does not provide public IP translation.
- ✗
Auto NAT (Static Patched)
Why it's wrong here
Auto NAT does not support direct inbound port preservation configurations as flexibly as manual NAT.
