Configuring NAT interfaces

The NAT Interface is the VLAN used to route controller data traffic between the source and
destination address locations within the controller-managed network. Any of the default VLANs is
available as the NAT interface, in addition to any other VLANs created. In addition to selecting the
VLAN, specify the Inside or Outside NAT type.
To view and configure a NAT interface:

•
Source - The inside network is transmitting data over the network 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 to the records kept by the NAT engine. There the destination IP
address is changed back to the specific internal private class IP address to reach the LAN
over the controller managed network.
(once translated) will not be exposed to the outside world when the translation address is used
to interact with the remote destination.
Enter the Local Port (1 - 65535) used to for the translation between the controller and its NAT
destination.
NOTE
After selecting (and saving) a protocol type of TCP or UDP (using the Web UI), the controller CLI
will not display the selected protocol type or provide an option to configure it. Ensure both the
protocol and port are defined using the Web UI.
