DESCRIPTION

Create new Object

Use to configure any new settings objects that you need to use in this screen.

 

 

Enable Rule

Use this option to turn the NAT rule on or off.

 

 

Rule Name

Type in the name of the NAT rule. The name is used to refer to the NAT rule. You may

 

use 1-31 alphanumeric characters, underscores(_), or dashes (-), but the first

 

character cannot be a number. This value is case-sensitive.

Classification

Select what kind of NAT this rule is to perform.

 

Virtual Server - This makes computers on a private network behind the ZyWALL

 

available to a public network outside the ZyWALL (like the Internet).

 

1:1 NAT - If the private network server will initiate sessions to the outside clients,

 

select this to have the ZyWALL translate the source IP address of the server’s outgoing

 

traffic to the same public IP address that the outside clients use to access the server.

 

Many 1:1 NAT - If you have a range of private network servers that will initiate

 

sessions to the outside clients and a range of public IP addresses, select this to have

 

the ZyWALL translate the source IP address of each server’s outgoing traffic to the

 

same one of the public IP addresses that the outside clients use to access the server.

 

The private and public ranges must have the same number of IP addresses.

 

One many 1:1 NAT rule works like multiple 1:1 NAT rules, but it eases configuration

 

effort since you only create one rule.
