Link-Local IPv4 Address

Link-Local Address is enabled by default and assigns the Axis product an additional IP address whichcanbeusedtoaccess

the p roduct from other hosts on the same segment on the local network. The product can have a Link-Local IP and a static

or DHCP-supplied IP address at the same time .

This function can be disable d under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.

HTTP

NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4

A network router allows devices on a priva te netw o rk (LA N) 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 ne tw ork (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 when the Ax is product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wi sh to make it available from the other

(WAN) s ide of a NAT router. With NAT traversal properly conﬁgured, all HTTP trafﬁc to an external H TTP port in the NA T router

isforwardedtotheproduct.

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

Note

• For NAT tra vers al to wo rk, this m us t be sup porte d by the ro uter. The router m ust also support UPnP

• The route r has many different nam e s: “NAT router”, “Netwo rk router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broa dband router”, “Broadband

sharing device” or “Home ﬁ rewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the sa

me.

Enable/Disable - Wh en enabled, the Axis product attem pts 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 > Network > UPnP).

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

the ﬁeld. If no router is speciﬁ ed, the product automatically searches for N AT routers on your network. If m ore than one ro uter 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 he re , a port number is automa tically selected whe n NAT travers al is enabled.

Note

• An alternative HTTP p ort ca n be use d or be active even if NA T travers al is disabled . This is useful if your NAT router does

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

• If you attempt to man

ually enter a port that is already in use, anothe r avail able port is autom atica lly se le cte d.

• When the port is se le cte d automatically 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, u se r applications, etc. The FTP s erver can be d isabled

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