17.4 NAT Address Mapping
Click ADVANCED > NAT > Address Mapping to open the following screen.
17.4.1 What NAT Does
In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a
subscriber (the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding
the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination
address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the
original inside host. Note that the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host is never
changed.

WAN 1, 2
Enable NAT
Select this check box to turn on the NAT feature for the WAN interface. Clear this
check box to turn off the NAT feature for the WAN interface.
Address
Mapping Rules
Select SUA if you have just one public WAN IP address for your ZyWALL. This lets
the ZyWALL use its permanent, pre-defined NAT address mapping rules.
Select Full Feature if you have multiple public WAN IP addresses for your ZyWALL.
This lets the ZyWALL use the address mapping rules that you configure. This is the
equivalent of what used to be called full feature NAT or multi-NAT.
The bar displays how many of the ZyWALL's possible address mapping rules are
configured. The first number shows how many address mapping rules are
configured on the ZyWALL. The second number shows the maximum number of
address mapping rules that can be configured on the ZyWALL.
Port Forwarding
Rules
The bar displays how many of the ZyWALL's possible port forwarding rules are
configured. The first number shows how many port forwarding rules are configured
on the ZyWALL. The second number shows the maximum number of port
forwarding rules that can be configured on the ZyWALL.
Port Triggering
Rules
The bar displays how many of the ZyWALL's possible trigger port rules are
configured. The first number shows how many trigger port rules are configured on
the ZyWALL. The second number shows the maximum number of trigger port rules
that can be configured on the ZyWALL.
Copy to WAN 2
(and Copy to
WAN 1)
Click Copy to WAN 2 (or Copy to WAN 1) to duplicate this WAN interface's NAT
port forwarding or trigger port rules on the other WAN interface.
Note: Using the copy button overwrites the other WAN interface's
existing rules.
The copy button is best suited for initial NAT configuration where you have
configured NAT port forwarding or trigger port rules for one interface and want to
use similar rules for the other WAN interface. You can use the other NAT screens to
edit the NAT rules after you copy them from one WAN interface to the other.
Apply
Click Apply to save your changes back to the ZyWALL.
