LABEL DESCRIPTION
Port Mapping Use the drop-down list box to select how many original destination ports this NAT rule
Type supports for the selected destination IP address (Original IP). Choices are:
Any - this NAT rule supports all the destination ports.
Service - this NAT rule supports the destination port(s) used by the specified service(s).
Port - this NAT rule supports one destination port.
Ports - this NAT rule supports a range of destination ports. You might use a range of
destination ports for unknown services or when one server supports more than one
service.
This field is read-only and displays any for Many 1:1 NAT.
Original Service This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Service. Select the original service whose
destination port(s) is supported by this NAT rule.
Mapped Service This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Service. Select the translated service
whose destination port(s) is supported if this NAT rule forwards the packet.
Protocol Type This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port or Ports. Select the protocol (TCP,
UDP, or Any) used by the service requesting the connection.
Original Port This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port. Enter the original destination port this
NAT rule supports.
Mapped Port This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Port. Enter the translated destination port if
this NAT rule forwards the packet.
Original Start This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the beginning of the range of
Port original destination ports this NAT rule supports.
Original End Port This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the end of the range of original
destination ports this NAT rule supports.
Mapped Start This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the beginning of the range of
Port translated destination ports if this NAT rule forwards the packet.
Mapped End Port This field is available if Port Mapping Type is Ports. Enter the end of the range of
translated destination ports if this NAT rule forwards the packet. The original port range
and the mapped port range must be the same size.
Enable NAT Enable NAT loopback to allow users connected to any interface (instead of just the
Loopback specified Incoming Interface) to use the NAT rule's specified Original IP address to
access the Mapped IP device. For users connected to the same interface as the Mapped
IP device, the NXC uses that interface's IP address as the source address for the traffic it
sends from the users to the Mapped IP device.
For example, if you configure a NAT rule to forward traffic from the WAN to a LAN server,
enabling NAT loopback allows users connected to other interfaces to also access the server.
For LAN users, the NXC uses the LAN interface's IP address as the source address for the
traffic it sends to the LAN server.
If you do not enable NAT loopback, this NAT rule only applies to packets received on the
rule's specified incoming interface.
OK Click OK to save your changes back to the NXC.
Cancel Click Cancel to return to the NAT summary screen without creating the NAT rule (if it is
new) or saving any changes (if it already exists).
