Hi Rene,

Need help again, So its NAT this time.

```auto
ASA1(config)# object network WEB_SERVER
ASA1(config-network-object)# host 192.168.1.1
ASA1(config-network-object)# nat (DMZ,OUTSIDE) static 192.168.2.200

```

Let’s call this statement A.

The configuration above tells the ASA that whenever an outside device connects to IP address 192.168.2.200  
that it should be translated to IP address 192.168.1.1.

```auto
ASA1(config)# object network DMZ
ASA1(config-network-object)# subnet 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
ASA1(config-network-object)# nat (DMZ,OUTSIDE) static PUBLIC_POOL

```

Let’s call this statement B.

The configuration above tells the ASA to translate any IP address from the subnet DMZ (192.168.1.0 /24) to an  
IP address in the PUBLIC\_POOL (10.10.10.0 /24).

Both NAT statement`s are similar except one has a IP other has a POOL.

statement-A is performing translation for the inbound traffic  
statement-B is performing translation for outbound traffic

My question is what part of command makes ASA to perform translation on INBOUND traffic or OUTBOUND traffic and on which interface.
