Cisco 3620 and IP NAT - Stops working after couple minutes
Posted by Tozz on May 22nd, 2005


Hi,

I have a Cisco 3620 router with 2 Ethernet ports. I use this device for
NAT for my local network. And I also do some portforwarding to allow
external machines to access internal resources (web, mail, dns, etc)

The problem is, that after a couple minutes the router stops forwarding
UDP packets from the outside world to the inside. TCP forwarding
continues to work without any problems. If I do a "clear ip nat
translations forced", the forwarding starts working again for a couple
minutes.

I cannot find the solution to this problem, and I was hoping anyone here
knows how to fix this. My configurations looks like this:

interface Ethernet0/0
mac-address 00e0.290b.ef81
no ip address
full-duplex

interface Ethernet0/0.2
