Prestige 861H Series User's Guide Figure 103 Menu 15.1.1 First Set Menu 15.1.1 - Address Mapping Rules Set Name= NAT_SET Idx Local Start IP Local End IP Global Start IP Global End IP Type 1. 2 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Action= Edit Select Rule= Press ENTER to Confirm or ESC to Cancel: If the Set Name field is left blank, the entire set will be deleted. The Type, Local and Global Start/End IPs are configured in menu 15.1.1.1 (described later) and the values are displayed here. 20.3.1.3 Ordering Your Rules Ordering your rules is important because the Prestige applies the rules in the order that you specify. When a rule matches the current packet, the Prestige takes the corresponding action and the remaining rules are ignored. If there are any empty rules before your new configured rule, your configured rule will be pushed up by that number of empty rules. For example, if you have already configured rules 1 to 6 in your current set and now you configure rule number 9. In the set summary screen, the new rule will be rule 7, not 9. Now if you delete rule 4, rules 5 to 7 will be pushed up by 1 rule, so as old rule 5 becomes rule 4, old rule 6 becomes rule 5 and old rule 7 becomes rule 6. Table 53 Menu 15.1.1 First Set FIELD Set Name Action Select Rule DESCRIPTION Enter a name for this set of rules. This is a required field. If this field is left blank, the entire set will be deleted. The default is Edit. Edit means you want to edit a selected rule (see following field). Insert Before means to insert a rule before the rule selected. The rules after the selected rule will then be moved down by one rule. Delete means to delete the selected rule and then all the rules after the selected one will be advanced one rule. None disables the Select Rule item. When you choose Edit, Insert Before or Delete in the previous field the cursor jumps to this field to allow you to select the rule to apply the action in question. 177 Chapter 20 Network Address Translation (NAT)
