Determining Whether the Router Uses Symmetric or Asymmetric NAT
STUN does not work on routers with symmetric NAT. With symmetric NAT, IP
addresses are mapped from one internal IP address and port to one external,
routable destination IP address and port. If another packet is sent from the same
source IP address and port to a different destination, a different IP address and
port number combination is used. This method is restrictive because an external
host can send a packet to a particular port on the internal host
only if
the internal
host first sent a packet from that port to the external host.
This procedure assumes that a syslog server is configured and is ready to receive
syslog messages.
To Determine Whether the Router Uses Symmetric or Asymmetric NAT:
STEP 1
Verify that the firewall is not running on your PC. (It can block the syslog port.) By
default, the syslog port is 514.)
STEP
2
Click
Voice
>
System
and navigate to
Optional Network Configuration
.
STEP
3
Enter the IP address for the
Debug Server
and port number of your syslog server,
if the port number is anything other than the default, 514. It is not necessary to
include the port number if it is the default.
