PAT (Port Address Translation) uses port numbers to convert private IP addresses to global IP addresses.

How to Configure Dynamic NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer
Dynamic NAT maps private IP addresses to idle IP addresses in the NAT pool allocated by the ISP and transfers them to the global environment.
How to Configure Static NAT in Cisco Packet Tracer
In this article, we will examine how to add Static NAT on the Router in the Packet Tracer network simulator.
What is NAT PAT in Networking?
PAT (Port Address Translation) works very differently from Static and Dynamic NAT. This structure adds port numbers to the source portion of private IP addresses and matches them to global IP addresses. The most common type used in NAT is PAT.
What is Dynamic NAT in Networking?
Dynamic NAT works with the same logic compared to Static and PAT. In both structures, they convert private IP addresses on the local network to global IP addresses.
What is Static NAT in Networking?
Static NAT is a one-to-one assignment between the internal address and the external address. This NAT type allows external devices to initiate connections to internal devices through a statically assigned public address. For example, only a specific internal global address can be assigned so that the user can access an internal webserver from an external network.
