Creating a NAT Policy
The Network Address Translation (NAT) engine in SonicOS
Enhanced allows users to define granular NAT policies for their
incoming and outgoing traffic. By default, the SonicWALL
security appliance has a preconfigured NAT policy to perform
Many-to-One NAT between the systems on the LAN and the IP
address of the WAN interface. The appliance does not perform
NAT by default when traffic crosses between the other
interfaces.
You can create multiple NAT policies on a SonicWALL running
SonicOS Enhanced for the same object – for instance, you can
specify that an internal server uses one IP address when
accessing Telnet servers, and uses a different IP address for all
other protocols. Because the NAT engine in SonicOS
Enhanced supports inbound port forwarding, it is possible to
access multiple internal servers from the WAN IP address of
the SonicWALL security appliance. The more granular the NAT
Policy, the more precedence it takes.
