CHAPTER 10 Network Address Translation (NAT) 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the Device. 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 this Chapter • Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network (Section 10.2 on page 158). • Use the Applications screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network (Section 10.3 on page 161). • Use the Port Triggering screen to add and configure the Device's trigger port settings (Section 10.4 on page 162). • Use the DMZ screen to configure a default server (Section 10.5 on page 165). • Use the ALG screen to enable and disable the NAT and SIP (VoIP) ALG in the Device (Section 10.6 on page 166). • Use the Address Mapping screen to configure the Device's address mapping settings (Section 10.7 on page 166). • Use the Sessions screen to configure the Device's maximum number of NAT sessions (Section 10.7 on page 166). 10.1.2 What You Need To Know Inside/Outside Inside/outside denotes where a host is located relative to the Device, for example, the computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts. Global/Local Global/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 global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side.
