How to use SDM to set up NAT

Most of the NAT and PAT deployments currently in use were configured at the CLI, and you'll learn how to do that in your CCNA studies.   In the following lab, we're going to use a relatively new method, the Security Device Manager (SDM), to configure a router for PAT.  We'll then test the translation as well!   
Here's the network topology: Our PC needs to connect to that web server, but there's a problem.  The PC has
a Class A RFC 1918 private address, which is not a routable address.  We'll use SDM to configure PAT to allow that PC connectivity to the web server, plus I'll sneak in an extra point about pings and PAT.  (Try saying that three times really
fast!)
