Understanding Netopia NAT Behavior C-193

Configuration

You can toggle Address Translation Enabled to No or Yes in the WAN Ethernet Configuration screen in WAN Configuration under the Main Menu. An example of enabling NAT is as follows:

WAN Ethernet Configuration

Address Translation Enabled:

Yes

Local WAN IP Address:

0.0.0.0

Filter Set...

 

Remove Filter Set

 

Receive RIP:

Both

Set up the basic IP attributes of your Ethernet Module in this screen.

Toggling Address Translation Enabled to Yes enables the Netopia R910 to send out an all-zeros IPCP address that requests an IP to be assigned to the Netopia R910’s WAN interface. Note that the remote IP address is 127.0.0.2, which should also be the default gateway under IP Setup in System Configuration. This is done for profile matching purposes and because the IP address of the router the Netopia R910 is dialing is not always known.

As mentioned earlier in this appendix, NAT works well for IP sessions originated on the Netopia R910’s LAN interface destined for the Internet without any additional configuration. For incoming IP connections from the Internet to a host on the Netopia R910’s LAN interface, exported services need to be used.
