5.2.7.5 Setting the Profile's NAT Configuration

Profile Security Configuration
Network Address Translation (NAT) is a technique to modify network address information within IP packet headers in transit
across a traffic routing device. This enables mapping one IP address to another to protect network address credentials. With
typical deployments, NAT is used as an IP masquerading technique to hide private IP addresses behind a single, public facing,
IP address.
NAT is a process of modifying network address information in IP packet headers while in transit across a traffic routing device
for the purpose of remapping one IP address to another. In most deployments, NAT is used in conjunction with IP masquerading
which hides RFC1918 private IP addresses behind a single public IP address.
NAT can provide a profile outbound Internet access to wired and wireless hosts connected to an access point. Many-to-one
NAT is the most common NAT technique for outbound Internet access. Many-to-one NAT allows an access point to translate
one or more internal private IP addresses to a single, public facing, IP address assigned to a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port or 3G
card.
To define a NAT configuration that can be applied to a profile:
1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
2. Select Devices.
3. Select System Profile from the options on left-hand side of the UI.
4. Expand the Security menu and select NAT.
