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, then 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.
Note
This procedure assumes that a syslog server is configured and is ready
to receive syslog messages.
1.
Make sure you do not have firewall running on your PC that could block the syslog port
(port 514 by default).
2.
Connect to the administration web server, and choose Admin access with Advanced
settings.
