If an outbound packet matches 2 NATs, one for dynamic NAT/PAT using an ACL, and one for a static NAT that specifies the source IP of the host, which NAT will be used?

Final answer:

The static NAT will be used.

Step-by-step explanation:

If an outbound packet matches two NATs, one for dynamic NAT/PAT using an ACL, and one for a static NAT that specifies the source IP of the host, the static NAT will be used.

Dynamic NAT/PAT involves mapping multiple private IP addresses to a single public IP address using port numbers. Static NAT, on the other hand, maps a private IP address to a specific public IP address.

In the given scenario, the static NAT specifying the source IP of the host takes precedence over the dynamic NAT/PAT. Therefore, the outbound packet will be translated according to the static NAT configuration.
