Chapter 10 Network Address Translation (NAT) NAT In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Port Forwarding A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world. Single IP Versus NAT Single IP is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping, Many-to-One and Server. The ZyXEL Device also supports multiple IPs to map multiple public IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using mapping types. • Choose Single IP if you have just one public WAN IP address for your ZyXEL Device. • Choose Multiple IPs if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your ZyXEL Device.

Chapter 10 Network Address Translation (NAT)
P-660R-Tx v3s User’s Guide
82
NAT
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a
subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding
the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination
address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the
original inside host.
Port Forwarding
A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or
FTP, that you can make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole
inside network appear as a single computer to the outside world.
Single IP Versus NAT
Single IP is a ZyNOS implementation of a subset of NAT that supports two types of mapping,
Many-to-One
and
Server
. The ZyXEL Device also supports multiple IPs to map multiple
public IP addresses to multiple private LAN IP addresses of clients or servers using mapping
types.
• Choose
Single IP
if you have just one public WAN IP address for your ZyXEL Device.
• Choose
Multiple IPs
if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your ZyXEL
Device.
