  • Page 111: Using Nat

    Using NAT NAT (Network Address Translation) functions by transforming the private IP address of packets originating from hosts on your LAN so that they appear to be coming from a single public IP address, and by restoring the destination public IP address to the appropriate private IP address for packets entering the private network.

  • Page 112: To Setup A De-Militarised Zone Host

    When NAT is enabled, your LAN is not accessible to the WAN. However, implementing virtual servers allows you to host Internet servers such as web servers, FTP servers or Mail servers on your LAN, in spite of NAT. To Setup a De-Militarised Zone Host If NAT is enabled, a request from the client within the private network first goes to the access point.
