NAT The NAT Configuration page allows users to set the configuration for the Network
Address Translation. The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic
Network Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections,
and the LAN traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination
IP address and Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session
configuration between multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections.
When the Dynamic NAPT is chosen, there is no need to configure the NAT Session
and NAT Session Name Configuration.
The NAT option only maps single WAN IP address to the local PC IP address. It is
peer-to-peer mapping. (1x1) for each WAN interface, only one local PC IP address
can be associated with each WAN interface. Click the link Session Name
Configuration to add the session name for WAN interface.
The NAPT option only maps single WAN IP address to many local PCs IP address.
(1xN). It is the multiple-mapping mechanism. For each WAN Interface, more than one
local PC can be associated with one WAN Interface. Click the link Session Name
Configuration to add the session name for WAN interface.
Session Name: This field allows the user to select the session form the configured
NAT Session Name Configuration.
User’s IP: This field allows the user to assign the IP address to map the
corresponding NAT/NAPT sessions.
Session Name Status will be displayed at the middle of this page to show the
corresponding Session Name with its IP address.
