NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows de vices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is do n e by forwarding

network trafﬁc from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increas ed

since most routers are pre-conﬁgured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is loca ted on an intrane t (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other

(WAN) side of a N AT route r. With NAT traversal properly con ﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

NAT traversal is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > A dvanced.

Note

• For NAT traversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router must also support UPnP

• The router has many diffe re nt names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “B roa dband

sharing device” or “Home ﬁrewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to conﬁgure port mapping in a NAT router on your netwo rk, using UPnP

Note that UP nP

must be enabled in the product (see System Options > N etwork > UPnP).

Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP address f or the router in

the ﬁeld. If no router is speciﬁed, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is

found, the default router is selected .

Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually deﬁne an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the ﬁeld. If no port is

entered here, a port number is automatically selected when NAT trave rsal is enabled.

Note

• A n alte rna tive HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled . This is useful if your NAT router doe s

not support UPnP and you need to manually conﬁgure port forwarding in the NAT router.

• If you attempt to manually enter a port that is already in use , a nother available port is automatically selected.

• W hen the port is selected automatically it is displayed in this ﬁeld. To change this, enter a new port num ber and click Save.

FTP

The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new ﬁrmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled

under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

This FTP serve r has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.

RTSP

The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connecting client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port number can be

changed under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced. The d efault port is 554.

Note

H.264 vide o streams will not be ava ilable if the RTSP se rver is disabled.
