Table 6-6 Menu 15.1.1.1 — Editing/Configuring an Individual Rule in a Set
FIELD
Type Press [SPACE BAR] to toggle through a total of five types. These
are the mapping types discussed in Table 6-2. Server allows you to
specify multiple servers of different types behind NAT to this
computer. See section 6.5.3 for an example.
Only local IP fields are N/A for server; Global IP fields MUST be set
Local IP
for Server.
Start This is the starting local IP address (ILA).
End This is the ending local IP address (ILA). If the rule is for all local IPs,
then put the Start IP as 0.0.0.0 and the End IP as 255.255.255.255.
This field is N/A for One-to-One and Server types.
Global IP
Start This is the starting global IP address (IGA). If you have a dynamic
IP, enter 0.0.0.0 as the Global IP Start. Note that Global IP Start
can be set to 0.0.0.0 only if the types are Many-to-One or Server.
End This is the ending global IP address (IGA). This field is N/A for One-
to-One, Many-to-One and Server types.
Once you have finished configuring a rule in this menu, press [ENTER] at the message "Press ENTER to
Confirm..." to save your configuration, or press [ESC] to cancel.
6.4 NAT Server Sets – Port Forwarding
A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can
make visible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single
machine to the outside world.
Use Menu 15 — NAT Setup to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network.
You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of
the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on
port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service
(for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. Entry 12 (port
1026) is non-editable (see Figure 6-10).
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does
not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined,
the service request is simply discarded.
