For each current NAT Translations session, the table contains the following fields:

Trans Index

This is the sequential number assigned to the IP session used

 

by this NAT translation session.

 

 

Rule ID

This field indicates the ID of the invoked NAT rule.

This field indicates the device interface on which the NAT rule

 

was invoked (from the rule definition).

This field indicates the IP protocol used by the data packets that

 

are undergoing translations (from the rule definition) Example:

NAT Direction

This field indicates the direction ([Inside] or [Outside]) of the

 

translation. A NAT direction is assigned to each port; the

 

Ethernet and USB ports are defined as [Inside] ports, and the

 

WAN ports are defined as [Outside] ports. The NAT direction

 

is determined by the interface on which the rule is invoked.
