CHAPTER 10 Network Address Translation (NAT) 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the P-660RU-Tx. NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network to a different IP address known within another network. 10.1.1 What You Can Do in the NAT Screens • Use the NAT screen (Section 10.2 on page 91) to configure the NAT settings. • Use the DMZ screen (Section 10.3 on page 91) to configure the DMZ settings. • Use the Virtual Server screen (Section 10.4 on page 92) to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. • Use the IP Address Mapping screen (Section 10.5 on page 95) to change your P-660RU-Tx's address mapping settings. 10.1.2 What You Need To Know About NAT Inside/Outside Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the P-660RU-Tx, for example, the computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts. Public/Local Public/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the public address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.

Network Address Translation
(NAT)
10.1
Overview
This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the P-660RU-Tx. NAT (Network
Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host
in a packet, for example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within
one network to a different IP address known within another network.
10.1.1
What You Can Do in the NAT Screens
Use the
NAT
screen (
Section 10.2 on page 91
) to configure the NAT settings.
Use the
DMZ
screen (
Section 10.3 on page 91
) to configure the DMZ settings.
Use the
Virtual Server
screen (
Section 10.4 on page 92
) to forward incoming
service requests to the server(s) on your local network.
Use the
IP Address Mapping
screen (
Section 10.5 on page 95
) to change your
P-660RU-Tx’s address mapping settings.
10.1.2
What You Need To Know About NAT
Inside/Outside
Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the P-660RU-Tx, for
example, the computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web
servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Public/Local
Public/local denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a
router, for example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the
packet is in the local network, while the public address refers to the IP address of
the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.
