• Outside - All other addresses. Usually these are valid addresses located on the Internet. Outside

addresses pose no risk if exposed over a publicly accessible network.

5. Define the NAT

Direction

from the drop-down menu. Options include:

• Source - The inside network is transmitting data over the network its intended destination. On the

way out, the source IP address is changed in the header and replaced by the (public) IP address.

Destination - Packets passing through the NAT on the way back to the switch managed LAN are searched
against to the records kept by the NAT engine. There the destination IP address is changed back to the specific
internal private class IP address in order to reach the LAN over the switch managed network.

6. Enter the

Local Address

used at the local (source) end of the NAT configuration. This address (once

translated) will not be exposed to the outside world when the translation address is used to interact with
the remote destination.

NOTE: After selecting (and saving) a protocol type of TCP or UDP (using the Web UI), the
switch CLI will not display the selected protocol type or provide an option to configure it.
Ensure both the protocol and port are defined using the Web UI.
