LAN Devices
This chapter describes how you can remotely access devices on the LAN through the ZyAIR.
16.1 LAN Devices and NAT Overview
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network.
Traditionally, when you have a device (for example, a switch) on a LAN using NAT, you cannot access the device from the WAN since the LAN device is assigned a private IP address.
Your ZyAIR is a
16.1.1 Port Mapping
To make LAN devices behind the ZyAIR visible to the outside world, you configure a mapping between a virtual port on the ZyAIR and a server port on a LAN device. A virtual port is a port on the ZyAIR that appears as a physical port to the attached devices. A server port defines a server to which all specified requests are forwarded.
In addition, centralized LAN device management is possible through the ZyAIR using port mapping. You can access the management interface on the LAN device remotely provided that the LAN device has allowed remote management.
