NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows devices on a priva te netw o rk (LA N) to share a single conne ction to the Internet. This is done by forwa rding

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 a ccess the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).

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

(WAN) s ide of a NAT router. With NAT travers al properly conﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external HTTP port in the NAT router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

NAT tra ve rsal is conﬁgured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

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

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

sharing device” or “Home ﬁ rewall” but the essential purp ose of the device is the same.

Enable/Disable - Wh en enabled, the Axis product attempts to conﬁgure port mapping in a NAT router on yo ur netwo rk, using U PnP

Note that UPnP

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

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

the ﬁeld. If no router is sp eciﬁed, the product automatically searches for N AT routers on your network. If more than one router is

found, the default router is selected.

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

entered he re , a port number is automatically s electe d when NA T traversal is enabled.

Note

• An alte rnative H TTP p ort 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 forwa rding in the NAT router.

• If you attem pt to m anual ly enter a port that is already in use, anothe r available port is autom atica lly se le cte d .

• W he n 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 of new ﬁrmware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled

under System O ptions > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

Note

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

RTSP

The RTSP server running in the Axis product allows a connectin g client to start an H.264 stream. The RTSP port numb er can be

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