    Chapter 7 Network Address Translation This Chapter is divided into the following sections: Overview of Network Address Translation (NAT) Network Address Translation Port Address Translation Configuration of NAT/PAT Applications for NAT/PAT 7.1 Overview Network Address Translation (NAT) is a transparent routing function that translates a Private IP address on a LAN into a Public address that can be used in a public network (Figure 8- 1).

  • Page 40: Network Address Translation

    7.2 Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) is a transparent routing function that translates a Private IP address on a LAN, into a Public address that can be used on a WAN. Static NAT defines a fixed address translation. A Private IP address is mapped to a Public IP address on a one-to- one basis.
  • Page 41 The conventions of NAT mode: (1). The global pool is permitted to overlap the ATM interface IP address. However the number of public addresses restricts the number of simultaneous connections. PAT [Section 8.3] should be used if the number of connections required, will exceed the number of Public Addresses.

  • Page 42: Port Address Translation

    7.3 Port Address Translation PAT, also called overloading is a form of NAT that maps multiple Private IP addresses to a single Public IP address. PAT allows several virtually addressed workstations to share a single global address. PAT uses the TCP and UDP port number s to map multiple virtual addresses to a single global address.
  • Page 43 The conventions of PAT mode: (1). The global pool is permitted to overlap the ATM interface IP address (2). PPTP pass through is supported (3). The ATM interface IP address presents the management address of the SHDSL Router. This IP address is available for ping, telnet and Web management from the Internet.

The Protocol field of the OPEN 531R has several options: Ethernet, PPP, IP Over ATM, and PPPoE. When you configure this field, make sure both devices support the same protocol and use the same ATM interface.

    12.3 Example 3: Bridge Mode with PPPoE Configuration This example describes the practical configuration of the device in bridge mode. The network infrastructure and configuration steps are show below. Step 1 Go to the MAIN/CONF/SYSTEM screen and set the Operation Mode to Bridge.
  • Page 90 Step 2 Go to the MAIN/QC/ATM/ATM1 screen. Enable the Interface and set the Protocol to Ethernet (RFC1483B). (The default is Ethernet.) Step 3 Go to the MAIN/QC/VC/VC1 and enter a value for the VPI/VCI . (The default is 0/33.) Depending on different applications, the user can also change other parameters within this screen.

    12.4 Example 4: Router Mode with PPPoE Configuration This example describes the practical configuration of the router with PPPoE/ PPPoA route mode. The network infrastructure and configuration steps are show below. Step 1 Go to the MAIN/CONF/SYSTEM screen and set the Operation Mode to Router mode.
  • Page 92 Step 3 Go to the MAIN/QC/VC/VC1 to give a value on the VPI/VCI . (The default is 0/33.) Depending on different applications, the user can also change other parameters within the screen. (The router has maximum of 32 virtual ATM interfaces and interface ATM 1 is enabled by default.) Step 4 Go to the MAIN/QC/ISP/ISP1 .
  • Page 93 Step 5 Go to the MAIN/QC/LAN. Set the Network Type to Virtual (The default is Global.), and then enter both IP Address and Subnet Mask. (In this case, the router will enable NAT function automatically.) Step 6 Initiate the PPPoE program from the ATU- R.

    12.5 Example 5: Router Mode with IPoA Configuration This example describes the practical configuration of the router with IPoA route mode. The network infrastructure and configuration steps are show below. Six IP addresses are available for LAN. The user can connect the LAN port to a hub for more PC connections.
  • Page 95 Step 2 Go to the MAIN/QC/ATM/ATM1 screen. Enable the Interface and set the Protocol to IP over ATM (RFC1483R). (The default is Ethernet.) Set IPCP to Static. Give the ATM interface a correct IP Address and Subnet Mask. Change other parameters if required. Step 3 Go to the MAIN/QC/VC/VC1 screen to enter a value for the VPI/VCI .
  • Page 96 Step 4 Go to the MAIN/QC/LAN. Set the Network Type to Global (default), and then enter correct IP Address and Subnet Mask. Step 5 Go to the MAIN/CONF/ROUTING/STATIC/ADD screen. Set the parameters shown below for a default route.

    12.6 Example 6: NAT and DHCP Configuration This example describes the practical configuration of the router running the NAT and DHCP functions. The network infrastructure and configuration steps are show below. After enabling the DHCP func tion, please set the IP address of the PC to auto- negotiation mode.
  • Page 98 Step 3 Go to the MAIN/QC/ATM/ATM1 screen. Enable the Interface and set the Protocol to IP over ATM (RFC1483R). (The default is Ethernet.) Set IPCP to Static. Note: The Network interface is always in Global mode no matter what IP is used.
  • Page 99 Step 4Go to the MAIN/QC/VC/VC1 to set a value for the VPI/VCI (0/33) for default) and the VC QoS parameters. Referring to DSLAM, the user can also change other parameters on the screen. Step 5 Go to the MAIN/CONF/ROUTING/STATIC/ADD. Set the parameters shown below for a default route.
  • Page 100 Step 6 Go to the MAIN/CONF/NAT/FIXED/ADD and enter a specific IP address for fixed mapping. The user may add more then one mapping entry. Step 7 Go to the MAIN/CONF/NAT/PRIVATE screen. Select the Pool Number (Pool 1 is the factory default) and set a private IP range ( Start IP address and End IP Address) in a private address pool for non- fixed IP mapping.
  • Page 101 Step 8 Go to the MAIN/CONF/NAT/GLOBAL. Select the Pool Number (Pool 1 is factory- defaulted), and then set a global IP range (Start IP address and End IP Address) in a global address pool for non- fixed IP mapping. Step 9 Go to the MAIN/CONF/NAT/TRANSLATION/ADD. Select the both Private IP Pool and Global IP Pool (Both defaulted pools are Pool1.), and then configure the Translation Type to NAT or PAT.
  • Page 102 Step 10 Go to the MAIN/CONF/DHCP/GENERIC to enable the DHCP function. Input the DHCP Start IP and the DHCP End IP. (Note: the user should skip the fixed mapped IP address, when giving DHCP start and end IP addresses.) Give the Default Gateway an IP address, which is the IP address of LAN port. Finally, set IP addresses of Domain Name Server.

    Chapter 13 Troubleshooting 1: Altered parameters are lost after restarting When you adjust or change parameters, you should save the parameters in RAM by holding down the Ctrl- S keys. This procedure only saves the parameters temporarily. Therefore, before you exit the system, you must write the configurations into the flash memory by entering the MAIN/WRITE menu [see Section 3.6.1] and reboot the device by entering the MAIN/REBOOT menu [see Section 3.6.2].
