source IP address can be transported by NAT, whereas the packet with 20.31.76.80 as its source IP
address will be dropped.
z Non-NAT Mode
In this mode, the Router functions as the traditional Gateway and forwards the packets via routing
protocol. The Hosts in different subnets can communicate with one another via the routing rules
whereas no NAT is employed.
Note:
In Non-NAT mode, all the NAT forwarding rules will be disabled.
z Classic Mode
It's the combined mode of NAT mode and Non-NAT mode. In Classic mode, the Router will first
transport the packets which are compliant with NAT forwarding rules and then match the other packets
to the static routing rules. The matched packets will be transmitted based on the static routing rules
and the unmatched ones will be dropped. In this way, the Router can implement NAT for the packets
without blocking the packets in the different subnet of the ports.
