Chapter 10 Network Address Translation The following table describes the labels in this screen. Table 46 Network > NAT > General LABEL NAT Setup DESCRIPTION Enable Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) allows the translation of an Internet protocol address used within one network (for example a private IP address used in a local network) to a different IP address known within another network (for example a public IP address used on the Internet). Select the check box to enable NAT. Default Server Setup Server IP Address In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A default server receives packets from ports that are not specified in the Application screen. If you do not assign a Default Server IP address, the NBG-418N discards all packets received for ports that are not specified in the Application screen or remote management. Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG-418N. Reset Click Reset to begin configuring this screen afresh. 10.4 NAT Application Screen Use the Application screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded. Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP. Port forwarding allows you to define the local servers to which the incoming services will be forwarded. To change your NBG-418N's port forwarding settings, click Network > NAT > Application. The screen appears as shown. Note: If you do not assign a Default Server IP address in the NAT > General screen, the NBG-418N discards all packets received for ports that are not specified in this screen or remote management. Refer to Appendix E on page 209 for port numbers commonly used for particular services. 104 NBG-418N User's Guide

NAT Application Screen

Use the

Application

screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local

network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the

local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web

service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one

server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be

better to specify a range of port numbers.

In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request

that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the

default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.

Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server

processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may

periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any

active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP.

Port forwarding allows you to define the local servers to which the incoming services will be

forwarded. To change your NBG-418N’s port forwarding settings, click
