NAT can act as an address translator between the Internet and the local network, conserve Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, and help the local network connect to the Internet using unregistered IP addresses.

The following statements are also TRUE regarding NAT:
* It can be used to present a single address for the entire network to the outside world when used in dynamic mode.
* It enhances network security by not disclosing the internal network addresses to the outside world.

It is not true that NAT creates additional IP addresses for the local network. It only enables the use of unregistered addresses on the local area network.
