When dynamic NAT without overloading is being used, what happens if seven users attempt to access a public server on the Internet when only six addresses are available in the NAT pool?

  • No users can access the server.
  • The request to the server for the seventh user fails.
  • All users can access the server.
  • The first user gets disconnected when the seventh user makes the request.

Explanation: If all the addresses in the NAT pool have been used, a device must wait for an available address before it can access the outside network.
