Configuring NAT information

6

3. Click the Add button.

4. Define the NAT Type from the drop-down menu. Options include:

Inside - The set of 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.

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. Use the Access List drop-down menu to select the list of addresses used during NAT

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

7. Use the Interface drop-down menu to select the VLAN used as the communication medium

between the source and destination points within the NAT configuration. Ensure the VLAN
selected represents the intended network traffic within the NAT supported configuration.
VLAN1 is available by default.

8. Refer to the Status field for the state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error

messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.

9. Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.

10. Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.
