Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has configured NAT on an ASA device. What type of NAT is used?

inside NAT
static NAT
bidirectional NAT
outside NAT

Explanation: NAT can be deployed on an ASA using one of these methods:
inside NAT - when a host from a higher-security interface has traffic destined for a lower-security interface and the ASA translates the internal host address to a global address
outside NAT - when traffic from a lower-security interface destined for a host on the higher-security interface is translated
bidirectional NAT – when both inside NAT and outside NAT are used together
Because the nat command is applied so that the inside interface is mapped to the outside interface, the NAT type is inside. Also, the dynamic keyword in the nat command indicates that it is a dynamic mapping.
