Adding NAT Rules
This section explains how to create rules for each NAT flavor.
Note:
You cannot edit existing NAT rules. To change a rule
setup, delete it and add a new rule with the modified
settings.
The NAPT rule: Translating between private and public
IP addresses
Follow these instructions to create a rule for translating the private
IP addresses on your LAN to your public IP addresses. This
type of rule uses the NAT flavor NAPT, which was used in your
default configuration. The NAPT flavor translates private source
IP addresses to a single public IP address. The NAPT rule also
translates the source port numbers to port numbers that are defined
on the [NAT Global Configuration] page (see Viewing NAT
Global Settings and Statistics on page 59). The Introduction
to NAT describes how the NAPT rule works.
