Configuring a NAT policy in the web interface
Configuration overview
Configuring address translation
A NAT gateway can be configured with or dynamically generate mapping entries to translate between
internal and external network addresses. Generally, address translation can be classified into two types,
dynamic and static.
•
Dynamic NAT
A dynamic NAT entry is generated dynamically. Dynamic NAT is implemented by associating an ACL
with an address pool (or the address of an interface in the case of Easy IP). This association defines what
packets can use the addresses in the address pool (or the interface’s address) to access the external
network. Dynamic NAT is applicable when a large number of internal users need to access external
networks. An IP address is selected from the associated address pool to translate an outgoing packet.
After the session terminates, the selected IP address is released.
Perform the tasks in
to configure dynamic NAT.
Table 1 Dynamic NAT configuration task list
Task Remarks
Required for configuring NAPT and many-to-many NAT
Required
Configure dynamic NAT on an interface.
•
Static NAT
The mapping relationships between external and internal network addresses are manually configured.
Static NAT can meet fixed access requirements of a few users.
Perform the tasks in
to configure static NAT.

Required
Static NAT supports two modes, one-to-one and net-to-net.
Enabling static NAT on an interface
Required
Configure static NAT on an interface.
Configuring an internal server
