NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding

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

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

Use NAT traversal w h e n the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other

(WAN) side of a NAT ro u ter. With NAT trave rsal properly conﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

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

Note

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

• The router has many differe nt names: “NAT router”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband

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 N AT router on your network, using UPnP

Note that UPnP

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

Use manually selected N AT router - Select this option to manually select a N AT router and enter the IP address for 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 a utomatically selected when NAT traversal is enabled.

Note

• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled. This is use ful if your NAT router does

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, another available port is automatically selected.

• When the port is selected automatica lly it is displayed in this ﬁeld. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save .

FTP

The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload o f 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 default port is 554.
