Using Device tabs to configure the security gateway

Provide support for multi-gateway network configurations. Address mapping can be used to ensure that request and reply packets enter and exit the network through the same security gateway.

Accessing the Internet from private networks

Figure 28 shows an example of using NAT to allow hosts on a private non-routable or non-registered network to access the Internet.

Figure 28: Access the Internet from private Networks

The above example can be used for the following three applications described in the previous section, NAT applications:

Allow access to the Internet from private networks

Provide support for more hosts with fewer public addresses

Hide host addresses for security reasons

This configuration allows up to 254 private addresses from the 10.0.0.0/8 network to be dynamically mapped to public addresses from the N1.N2.N3.0/24 network.

Each NAT mapping is assigned to an interface. The rules for applying address translations to a packet entering or leaving an interface are:

When a packet is routed out on an interface (away from the security gateway), the source address of the packet is modified.

Conversely, when a packet comes in on an interface (toward the security gateway), the destination address of the packet is modified.
