5.2.1.1 Configuring Port Forwarding

Use the

Port Forwarding

screen to configure port forwarding parameters for inbound traffic from

the associated WAN IP address.

NAT Type

Specify the NAT Type as

1 to 1

to map a WAN IP address to a single

host (local) IP address. 1 to 1 mapping is useful when users need
dedicated addresses, and for public-facing servers connected to
the access point.
Set the NAT Type as

1 to Many

to map a WAN IP address to

multiple local IP addresses. This displays the 1 to Many Mappings
button in the adjacent Outbound Mappings field. This button
displays a screen for mapping the LAN IP addresses that are
associated with each subnet.

Define the NAT Type as

none

when routable IP addresses are used

on the internal network.

Outbound Mappings

When

1 to 1

NAT is selected, a single IP address can be entered in

the

Outbound Mappings

area. This address provides a 1 to 1

mapping of the WAN IP address to the specified IP address.
When

1 to Many

is selected as the NAT Type, the Outbound

Mappings area displays a

1 to Many Mappings

button. Click the

button to select the LAN1 or LAN2 IP address used to set the
outbound IP address or select

none

to exclude the IP address.

If

none

is selected as the NAT Type, The Outbound Mappings area

is blank.

Inbound Mappings

When

1 to 1

or

1 to Many

is selected, the

Inbound Mappings

option displays a

Port Forwarding

button.
