    4.3.3.5 Admin Privilege – Learned MAC Table Network bridges operate at the physical network layer. The purpose of a bridge is to connect two or more networks and enable packet sharing between them. Bridges are different from routers because they forward packets based on physical addresses, whereas routers use IP address to forward packets. Bridges must learn all the physical (MAC) addresses of the devices so it can forward the packets reliably.

  • Page 126: Appendix A : Network Address Translation

    Appendix A : Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) translates the IP address a network (LAN) to a different IP address known by another network (WAN). This gives an outside network the ability to distinguish and communicate with a device on the inside network, as the inside network has a private set of IP addresses assigned by the DHCP server, which are not know to the outside network.

    A.1 Basic NAT Basic Network Address Translation (NAT) enables outbound sessions for the hosts in a private network to gain 0access the external network. Facts of Basic NAT: Basic NAT allows hosts in a private network to transparently access the external network. Basic NAT maps only one IP addresses in the private domain to each IP address in the public domain.

    A.2 Static NAPT NAPT, also known as NAT-PAT, stands for Network Address Translation and Port Address Translation. An extension of Basic NAT, NAPT enables outbound sessions so that the hosts in a private network to access the external network. Facts of NAPT: NAPT multiplexes traffic from the internal network and presents it to the Internet as if it is coming from only one IP address.

  • Page 129: Functional Descriptions

    A.3 Functional Descriptions This section describes various NAT mechanisms for both outbound and inbound session operations. Together, they provide a mechanism to connect a realm with private addresses to an external realm with globally unique registered addresses. The NAT module allows outbound access with either static or dynamic sessions. Inbound access is normally blocked but selective inbound sessions may be enabled.

  • Page 130: Outbound Access

    A.3.1 Outbound Access The NAT module implements two modes for outbound sessions: NAT mode and NAPT mode. NAT Mode: NAT mode implements the Basic NAT functionality. 1. Static session mapping is required for any local host to access the public domain. 2.
  • Page 131 ping for a period of time, let the session expire, then restart the ping. The expiration time differs from protocol to protocol. 7. With dynamic WAN interfaces, the Route table changes as links go up and down. Since NAPT is based on Route Table, NAT packet forwarding may behave differently from time to time.
