Type Displays the NAT type as either:
•
Inside - Applies NAT on packets arriving on interfaces marked as inside.
These interfaces should be private networks not accessible from outside
(public) networks.
•
Outside - Applies NAT on packets coming in on interfaces marked as outside.
These controller interfaces should be public or outside networks accessible
from anywhere on the Internet.
Direction Displays the direction as either:
•
Source - The inside network is transmitting data over the network to its
intended destination. On the way out, the source IP address is changed in the
header and replaced by the (public) IP address.
•
Destination - Packets passing through the NAT on the way back to the
controller managed LAN are searched against the records kept by the NAT
engine. The destination IP address is changed back to the specific internal
private class IP address to reach the LAN over the controller managed
network.
Access List
Defines the packet selection criteria for NAT. NAT is applied only on packets which
match a rule defined in the access-list. Only the Standard IP and Extended IP
Access List can be used.
Interface Defines the interface through which packets are routed. The source IP address
and source port number (only if IP protocol is TCP or UDP) of packets is changed to
the interface IP address and a random port number.
