The Netopia R9100 uses Internet Protocol (IP) to communicate both locally and with remote networks. This
chapter shows you how to configure the Router to route IP traffic. You also learn how to configure the router to
ser ve IP addresses to hosts on your local network.
Netopia’s Smar tIP features IP address ser ving and Network Address Translation. For a detailed discussion of
Network Address Translation, see
Appendix C, “Understanding Netopia NAT Behavior”
This chapter describes
how to use the Network Address Translation feature of Smar tIP.
This section covers the following topics:
■
“Network Address Translation features” on page 9-1
■
“Using Network Address Translation” on page 9-3
■
■
“IP address ser ving” on page 9-16
Network Address Translation allows communication between the LAN connected to the Netopia R9100 and the
Internet using a single IP address instead of a routed account with separate IP addresses for each computer on
the network.
Network Address Translation also provides increased security by hiding the local IP addresses of the LAN
connected to the Netopia R9100 from the outside world.
With Smar tIP, the setup is simpler, so Internet ser vice providers typically offer internet accounts suppor ting
Network Address Translation at a significant cost savings.
Network Address Translation features
Network Address Translation (NAT) offers users the following features:
■
The single proxy address is acquired at connection time from the answering side. The address can be
assigned by the remote router from either a dynamic pool of addresses or a fixed, static address.
■
Static NAT Security is simpler and more reliable because only one IP address needs a firewall, and because
the internal network structure is not visible from the Internet.
