Motorola 7.7.4 manual Nat, Motorola Netopia Gateway

Security

The Motorola Netopia® Gateway tracks which local hosts are communicating with which remote hosts. It routes packets received from remote networks to the correct computer on the LAN (Ethernet) interface.

•When NAT is OFF, a Motorola Netopia® Gateway acts as a traditional TCP/IP router, all LAN computers/devices are exposed to the Internet.

A diagram of a typical NAT-enabled LAN follows:

☛ NOTE:
