1.2.5.14 NAT

NAT (Network Address Translation) is supported for non-IPSec packets which are routed by the switch. The
following types of NAT are supported:

• Port NAT– Port NAT (also known as NAPT) entails multiple local addresses are mapped to single global

address and a dynamic port number. The user is not required to configure any NAT IP address. Instead IP
address of the public interface of the switch is used to NAT packets going out from private network and
vice versa for packets entering private network.

• Static NAT– Static NAT is similar to Port NAT with the only difference that it allows the user to configure

a source NAT IP address and/or destination NAT IP address to which all the packets will be NATted to.
The source NAT IP address will be used when hosts on a private network are trying to access a host on
a public network. Destination NAT IP address can be used for public hosts to talk to a host on the private
network.

1.2.5.15 Certificate Management

Certificate Management is used to provide a standardized procedure to

• Generate a Server certificate request and upload the server certificate signed by certificate authority

(CA).

• Uploading of CA's root certificate.

• Creating a self-signed certificate

Certificate management will be used by the applications HTTPS, VPN, HOTSPOT and Radius. For information
on configuring switch certificate management, see Creating Server Certificates on page 6-74.
