Static NAT
This option allows multiple public addresses to be designated to devices on the
network. Static NAT allows devices behind a firewall and configured with private IP
addresses appear to have public IP addresses on the Internet. This allows an inter-
nal host, such as a web server, to have an unregistered (private) IP address and still
be accessible over the Internet. To do this:
1. Select Static NAT from any Security screen. The “Static NAT ” screen appears.
2. Click Add. The “Add NAT/NAPT Rule” screen appears.
3. Select a source address from the drop-down list. Usually, this is the public IP
address assigned by the ISP , and will appear in the drop down list.
4. Select a Destination Address from the appropriate drop-down list.
5. Select the protocol that needs to be accessible from the public IP address from
the “Protocol” drop-down list.
6. From the “Operation” drop-down list, select “Static NAT ” or “ NAPT ” (Network
Address Port Translation), depending on the type of rule.
7. Define when this new rule will occur from the “When should this rule occur?”
drop-down list (for more details about schedule rules, see the “Advanced
Settings” chapter of this manual).
Repeat these steps to add more static IP addresses from the network.
