Understanding Netopia NAT Behavior C-193
Configuration
You can toggle Address Translation Enabled to No or Yes in the WAN Ethernet Configuration screen in WAN
Configuration under the Main Menu. An example of enabling NAT is as follows:
Toggling Address Translation Enabled to Yes enables the Netopia R910 to send out an all-zeros IPCP address
that requests an IP to be assigned to the Netopia R910’s WAN inter face. Note that the remote IP address is
127.0.0.2, which should also be the default gateway under IP Setup in System Configuration. This is done for
profile matching purposes and because the IP address of the router the Netopia R910 is dialing is not always
known.
As mentioned earlier in this appendix, NAT works well for IP sessions originated on the Netopia R910’s LAN
inter face destined for the Internet without any additional configuration. For incoming IP connections from the
Internet to a host on the Netopia R910’s LAN inter face, expor ted ser vices need to be used.
