# Limiting Translation Entries

You can configure the maximum number of dynamic translation entries that the translation table contains in global configuration mode for a given virtual router.

ip nat translation max-entries

- Use to specify the maximum number of dynamic translation entries that the translation table can contain in global configuration mode for the given virtual router.
- Example
  host:VR1 (config-if) #ip nat translation max-entries 1000
- Use the no version to remove the configured limit and return the maximum number of translation entries to the default, which is no enforced limit, as capacity allows.
- See ip nat translation max-entries.
