Create a Twice NAT Rule

Before you begin

Create a network object or network group that defines the pool of IP addresses you are going to translate to itself. For the ASA, the range of addresses can be defined by a network object that uses an IP address range, a network object that defines a subnet, or a network group object that includes all the addresses in the range.

When creating the network objects or network groups, use for instructions.

For the sake of the following procedure, we are going call the network object or network group, Site-to-Site-PC-Pool.
