Carrier Grade NAT 4
For training/certification requests or questions, contact: training@a10networks.com
Course Description
This course provides users with the necessary skills to implement IPv6 migration and Carrier Grade NAT scenarios for A10 ACOS deployments in service provider and data center environments.
Objectives
From a three-device ACOS cluster pre-configured with a Layer 2-3 environment, students deploy these attributes:
- Carrier Grade NAT (CGN/LSN) to mitigate IPv4 address exhaustion
- DNS64/NAT64 for providing IPv4 resources to IPv6 clients
- CGN logging to manage NAT mappings
Students also use device tools that monitor, diagnose, and restore these attributes.
