3-6 Firmware User Guide

Currently there is a restriction that the remote user must be routed to via the WAN interface, otherwise the connections will fail. There is no restriction as to the number of connections.

There is no user configuration required for this feature.

MultiNAT Configuration

You configure the MultiNAT features through the console menu:

■For a simple 1-to-many NAT configuration (classic NAT or PAT), use the Easy Setup Profile configuration, described below.

■For the more advanced features, such as server lists and dynamic NAT, follow the instructions in:

■IP setup, described on page 3-7

■IP profile parameters, described on page 3-21

The Local WAN IP Address is used to configure a NAT public address range consisting of the Local WAN IP Address and all its ports. The public address map list is named Easy-PAT List and the port map list is named Easy-Servers.

The two map lists, Easy-PAT List and Easy-Servers, are created by default and NAT configuration becomes effective.This will map all your private addresses (0.0.0.0 through 255.255.255.255) to your public address. These map lists are bound to the Easy Setup Profile. See Binding Map Lists and Server Lists on page 3-21.

This is all you need to do if you want to continue to use a single PAT, or 1-to-many, NAT configuration.
