The NAT Global Information table, which displays the following settings that apply to all NAT rule translations:

zTCP Idle Timeout (sec), TCP Close Wait (sec), TCP Def Timeout (sec): When two computers communicate via the Internet, a Transmission Control Protocol-based communication session is created between them to control the exchange of data packets. The TCP session can be viewed as being in one of three states, depending on the types of packets being transferred: the establishing state, where the connection is being set up, the active state, where the connection is being used to transfer data, and the closing state, in which the connection is being shut down. When a NAT rule is in effect on a TCP session in the active state, the session will timeout if no packets are received for the time specified in TCP Idle Timeout. When in the closing state, the session will timeout if no packets are received for the time specified in TCP Close Wait. When in the establishing state, the session will timeout if no packets are received for the time specified in TCP Def Timeout.

zUDP Timeout (sec): Same as TCP Idle Timeout, but for User Datagram Protocol-based communication sessions.

zICMP Timeout (sec): Same as TCP Idle Timeout, but for Internet Control Message Protocol-based communication sessions.

zGRE Timeout (sec): Same as TCP Idle Timeout, but for Generic Routing Encapsulation-based communication sessions.

zESP Timeout (sec): Same as TCP Idle Timeout, but for Encapsulating Security Payload-based communication sessions.

zDefault Nat Age (sec): For all other NAT translation sessions, the number of seconds for which a NAT translation will continue to be valid if no packets are received.

zNAPT Port Start/End: When an napt rule is defined, the source ports will be translated to sequential numbers in this range

5.7.2RIP

Your ADSL/Ethernet router can be configured to communicate with other routing devices to determine the best path for sending data to its intended destination. Routing devices communicate this information using a variety of IP protocols. This topic describes how to configure your [Productname] to use one of these, called the Routing Information Protocol

(RIP).
