I've got a Cisco 3745 on one end of a Frame Relay link and a Cisco 1721 at the other end. The 1721 does some static NATs mostly for network separation (the 3745 is ours, and the 1721 is a customers and it's integrated into their network which has overlapping addresses). Right now I have to add static route entries on the 3745 for the NAT'ed (global) addresses and point it to the 1721. I was hoping there was a way for this to happen dynamically through EIGRP (or possibly another such as OSPF or other link-state routing protocol). So far I've been unable to find a way. Does anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks.
 
If both routers are running EIGRP for the same AS, have the 1721 advertise the NATed addresses to your 3745. You may have to add a loopback interface to the 1721 so it is attached to the global pool. Otherwise, EIGRP won't be allowed to advertise the range. Config should look something like this:

!
hostname 1721
!
interface loopback 20
ip address x.x.x.x mask.mask.mask.mask !the global range
!
router eigrp [AS]
network x.x.x.x !same as attached to loopback
!

That worked beautifully, thanks very much.
