Chapter 5 Configuring the Router’s Security
Static NAT
☞
Note: A block of static IP addresses must be purchased from the
ISP to configure this feature.
This option allows multiple static NAT IP addresses to be designated to devices on
the network. Static NAT IP addresses allow devices behind a firewall and configured
with private IP addresses appear to have public IP addresses on the Internet. This
allows an internal host, such as a web server, to have an unregistered (private) IP
address and still be reachable over the Internet. To do this:
1. Select Static NAT from any Security screen. The “Static NAT ” screen appears.
2. Click Add. The “Add Static NAT ” screen appears.
3. Enter the name of the computer to be used as the local host, or, to enter a
specific IP address, select Specify Address from the “Networked Computer/
Device” drop-down list and enter the
IP address in the box on the right.
4. Enter a public IP address from the block of assigned public IP address
(received from the ISP ) in the “Public IP Address” text box.
5. Select a connection from the “ WAN Connection Type” drop-down list.
