13. Select OK to save the changes made to the static NAT configuration. Select Reset to revert to
the last saved configuration.
14. Select the Dynamic NAT tab.
Dynamic NAT configurations translate the IP address of packets going out from one interface to
another interface based on configured conditions. Dynamic NAT requires packets be switched
through a NAT router to generate translations in the translation table.

Destination Port Use the spinner control to set the local port number used at the (source) end of the static NAT
configuration. The default value is port 1.
NAT IP Enter the IP address of the matching packet to the specified value. The IP address modified can be
either source or destination based on the direction specified.
NAT Port Enter the port number of the matching packet to the specified value. This option is valid only if the
direction specified is destination.
Network Select Inside or Outside NAT as the network direction. The default setting is Inside.
Select Inside to create a permanent, one-to-one mapping between an address on an internal
network and a perimeter or external network. To share a Web server on a perimeter interface with
the Internet, use static address translation to map the actual address to a registered IP address.
Static address translation hides the actual address of the server from users on insecure interfaces.
Casual access by unauthorized users becomes much more difficult. Static NAT requires a dedicated
address on the outside network for each host. Inside NAT is the default setting.
