Hi,
Am trying to configure my firewall,can anyone tell me if NAT with address pool is better than PAT for firewall configuration or not?
Thanks.

Hi Arati,

As a general rule I use PAT to conserve on IP's. The exception is this: if you are merging two companies that have the same IP subnets you can use a 1-1 NAT pool to get them working quickly.
