Understanding Static NAT on SRX-series Services Gateways

JUNOS software allows you to create static NAT rules that configure a one-to-one static mapping between original destination address or subnet and translated destination address or subnet. For a NAT device, the original destination address is the virtual host IP address while the mapped-to address is the real host IP address.

Note: The original destination addresses, along with other addresses in source and destination NAT pools should never be overlapped within one routing instance.

The mapping from original destination address or subnet to translated destination address or subnet in static NAT rule's specify a destination NAT rule. The reverse mapping from translated destination address or subnet to original destination address or subnet in static NAT rule's specify a source NAT rule.

When static NAT is configured on the SRX-series device, the static NAT rules takes precedence over the destination NAT rules during mapping. Similarly it takes precedence over source NAT rules during reverse mapping.
