JNCIA-SEC: Juniper Networks Certified Associate – Security (2021) — Question 54

You are deploying an SRX Series firewall with multiple NAT scenarios.
In this situation, which NAT scenario takes priority?

Answer options

• A. interface NAT
• B. source NAT
• C. static NAT
• D. destination NAT

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Static NAT takes precedence because it provides a one-to-one mapping of a private IP address to a public IP address, ensuring consistent access. Other NAT types, like interface, source, and destination NAT, serve different purposes and can be overridden by static NAT rules when applicable.
