I have BSR 64000 installed & have 10.60.128.0/22 pool (approx 8000 IP) for inside internet users. I have Cisco Router 3845 with 256 MB memory where i do NAT with Public IP (i have pool of /24 - 256 Public IPs). Unfortunately Cisco Router memory gets overused & 3845 Router hangs. Can i shift NAT on my BSR 64000 & terminate ISP on BSR GigE port directly ?
Pl guide how to do NAT directly on BSR 64000.

The BSR64k doesn't do NAT. I'm not 100% sure if the Cisco 10k would do it as well. you'll have to upgrade your NAT device or add a second and route some of your secondary loopback cpe networks to the second device. the show ver and memory you posted only shows that your running older software. please post the loopback and route. ospf, static, etc ?

You may do the NAT on router before the bsr64, i had bsr1000 and cisco 7246 so i activate NAT on cisco and relay it to the bsr and it worked fine.
Hi
It is true that bsr54k and bsr1k doesn't NAT at all. What I did was to use a linux box as my NAT device. Why did I use this config? because you can upgrade more easy RAM into a pc than a router and is cheaper. And I think is a best practice due to the router only has to route, nothing more.
Hope this help
