In which order does Junos OS process the various forms of NAT?
NAT processing in Junos OS follows a strict sequence to ensure correct packet handling:
Static NAT -- applied first because it provides a permanent one-to-one bidirectional mapping.
Destination NAT -- applied second to translate inbound destination addresses, often used for servers in private networks.
Source NAT -- applied last to translate outbound private source addresses to public ones.
This ensures deterministic behavior and avoids conflicts between translation types.
Options B, C, and D list incorrect sequences.
Correct Order: static NAT destination NAT source NAT
