Chapter 28 Network Address Translation (NAT)

28.5.4 Example 4: NAT Unfriendly Application Programs

Some applications do not support NAT Mapping using TCP or UDP port address translation.
In this case it is better to use Many-to-Many No Overload mapping as port numbers do not
change for Many-to-Many No Overload (and One-to-One) NAT mapping types. The
following figure illustrates this.

Figure 163 NAT Example 4

Other applications such as some gaming programs are NAT unfriendly because they embed
addressing information in the data stream. These applications won’t work through NAT even
when using One-to-One and Many-to-Many No Overload mapping types.

Follow the steps outlined in example 3 to configure these two menus as follows.

Figure 164 Example 4: Menu 15.1.1.1 Address Mapping Rule

After you’ve configured your rule, you should be able to check the settings in menu 15.1.1 as
shown next.
