Introduction
Stateful NAT64 is a Network Address Translation mechanism for translating IPv6 addresses
to IPv4 addresses, and IPv4 addresses to IPv6 addresses. Like NAT44, it is called stateful
because it creates or modifies bindings or session state while performing translation.
It supports both IPv6-initiated and IPv4-initiated communications using static or manual
mappings. In this document, stateful NAT64 uses static IPv6 to IPv4 mapping for address
translations.

Background

In this configuration example, routers R1,R2 and R3 are connected via fast Ethernet
interface.Loopback addresses are configured to generate networks.

The router R1 is IPv6only router which runs RIPv6 with the ASR (Router R2).Similarly the
router R3 is IPv4 only router that uses OSPF to communicate with the ASR. The network
address translations happen in ASR router using static IPv6 to IPv6 mappings.

Note: All configurations are tested in a lab environment on Cisco 2800 Routers operating on
Cisco IOS 15.2 and ASR operating on Cisco IOS-XE 15.1(3)S4version.

Summary Steps

NAT64 Interface Configuration
1. ipv6 address <Specify an IPv6 address>
2. nat64 enable
3. exit

NAT64 Mapping Configuration
1. enable
2. configure terminal
3. nat64 prefix stateful <prefix>
Note: The above command enables the router to translate the source IP address to IPv6 by
using the Stateful NAT64 prefix
4. nat64 v6v4 <static> <ipv6-address ipv4-address>
5. exit

Verify Commands

Verifying Connectivity Using Ping Command

To verify whether the router R3 (IPv4 only network) is able to reach the router R1(IPv6 only
network), use the ping command and verify the translations that happen by debug ipv6
icmp.

6
In router R3

Try ping router R1(IPv6 only network)which is represented by the IPv4 address 10.0.0.10.
Enable debug ip icmp on router R3 and in router R1(IPv6 only network) enable debug ipv6
icmp

R3#debug ip icmp
ICMP packet debugging is on

R1#debug ipv6 icmp
ICMP Packet debugging is on

R3#ping 10.0.0.10
Type escape sequence to abort.
Sending 5, 100-byte ICMP Echos to 10.0.0.10, timeout is 2 seconds:
!!!!!
Success rate is 100 percent (5/5), round-trip min/avg/max = 1/2/4 ms

R3#
*Sep 8 09:56:22.451: ICMP: echo reply rcvd, src 10.0.0.10, dst 10.0.0.1, topology
BASE, dscp 0 topoid 0
7

R1#
*Sep 8 10:48:51.499: ICMPv6: Received echo request, Src=3001::A00:1,
Dst=2001::A00:A
*Sep 8 10:48:51.499: ICMPv6: Sent echo reply, Src=2001::A00:A, Dst=3001::A00:1
Dst=2001::A00:A
Dst=2001::A00:A
Dst=2001::A00:A
Dst=2001::A00:A

From the above debug output, you can see that the router R3(IPv4 only Router) is able to
reach the router R1(IPv6 only router) using the static IPv4 address that we have assigned
i.e.using 10.0.0.10

Similarly the router R1(IPv6 only router) debug output shows that the ICMP request is
received from 3001::A00:1 which is nothing but the IPv4 address 10.0.0.1 when converted
to hexadecimal becomes A00:1 and is added to the prefix 3001::/.In other words the IPv4
address 10.0.0.1 is translated to 3001::A00:1 when reaching the IPv6 enabled network.

The following show commands can be used to see NAT64 translations that happen in ASR
router
