A Cisco network automation team has this requirement: Private hosts 10.8.0.0/24 route to an Internet edge but responses cannot return because the edge lacks the intended source NAT rule. Which design or implementation action best addresses it?
Configure approved source NAT for outbound flows and ensure stateful return traffic follows the mapping. Technical reason: NAT maps private address/port tuples to routable external identities with state for replies. Verify by: An external test sees the translated public source and return packets reach the original private host. Deployment qualification: NAT does not replace security policy or guarantee correct DNS resolution.
Configure the approved outbound proxy and its authentication for the client's requests session. This instead targets the different case Proxy authentication failure for API caller. The described NAT source translation to public Internet requirement specifically calls for Configure approved source NAT for outbound flows and ensure stateful return traffic follows the mapping.
