Adding NAT Rules

Bimap rules can be used to provide external access to a LAN device. They do not provide the same level of security as RDR rules, because RDR rules also reroute incoming packets based on the port ID. Bimap rules do not account for the port number, and therefore allow external access regardless of the destination port type specified in the incoming packet.
