6.6.3 Configuring NAT Interfaces

The NAT Interface is the VLAN used to route switch data traffic between the source and destination address
locations within the switch-managed network. Any of the default VLANs is available as the NAT interface,
in addition to any other VLANs you may have created. In addition to selecting the VLAN, specify the Inside
or Outside NAT type.

To view and configure a NAT interface:

1. Select

Security

from the main menu tree.

2. Click on the

outside) used.

Interface

Displays the particular VLAN used as the inside or outside NAT type. All defined VLANs are
available from the drop-down menu for use as the interface.

Type

Displays the NAT type as either:

• Inside - The set of switch-managed networks subject to translation. These are the internal

addresses you are trying to prevent from being exposed to the outside world.

• 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.
