DI-1162 Remote Access Router

Basically, when a packet comes into the router from a WAN port and is destined for a host on the LAN, the router will use information defined here to immediately send the packet to the host rather than send out an ARP request to find the host’s MAC address.

The parameters are described as follows:

IP Address – this is the IP address that causes the router to reply with the MAC Address upon receiving an ARP request.

MAC Address – this is the physical address, of the host, that is the authorized owner of the IP address.

State – this toggles enable, disable.

NAT Configuration

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a routing protocol that allows your network to become a private network that is isolated from, yet connected to the Internet. It does this by changing the IP address of packets from a global IP address usable on the Internet to a local IP address usable on your private network (but not on the Internet) and vice-versa.
