Configuring Static Source NAT
When the Wireless Edge Services xl Module stands between two networks
that use different IP addresses, static source NAT allows a device in one
network to reach devices in the other network. The module translates traffic’s
source address so that the device that sent the traffic appears to have a valid
IP address in the other network.
Note that the more typical configuration for source NAT is often dynamic NAT
because it allows multiple devices to share the same translated IP address.
To configure a static source translation, complete these steps:
1. Select Security > NAT and click the Static Translation tab.
Figure 8-16. Security > NAT > Static Translation Screen
2. Click the Add button. The Add Static Translation screen is displayed.
