Additional features

The following is a list of some of features that can be configured depending on your VPN networking requirements.

NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) is an Internet standard that allows private (nonroutable) networks to connect to public (routable) networks. To connect private networks and public networks, address mapping is performed on a security gateway that is located between the private network and the public network.

You can set up three types of NAT mapping on the security gateway:

●Static NAT. With static NAT, addresses from one network are permanently mapped to addresses on another network.

●Port NAT. With port NAT, addresses from internal, nonroutable networks are translated to one routable address in Port NAT.

●Port Redirection. With port redirection, addresses from a specific IP address and a specific port are redirected to another IP address and port.

By default, NAT is enabled and the Share public address to reach the Internet feature is selected. NAT affects only clear traffic.

SNMP

The VPNmanager uses the SNMP protocol to monitor the security gateway. The security gateway includes a SNMP agent that supports MIB-II and a proprietary MIB. This agent is read-only and cannot be used to configure the security gateway. The agent can send traps to a list of trap agents that you configure. SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, or VNMPv3 can be selected.
