9. Refer to the DHCP Relay field to set the DHCP relay server configuration used with the Virtual

Interface.

10. Define the Network Address Translation (NAT) direction.

Select either Inside, Outside or None.

Inside - The inside network is transmitting data over the network to its intended
destination. On the way out, the source IP address is changed in the header and replaced
by the (public) IP address.

Outside - Packets passing through the NAT on the way back to the managed LAN are
searched against 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 network.

None - No NAT activity takes place. This is the default setting.

NOTE

Refer to

Setting the Profile’s NAT Configuration

for instructions on creating a profile’s NAT

configuration.

11. Select OK to save the changes to the basic configuration screen. Select Reset to revert to the

last saved configuration.

12. Select the Security tab.

Primary IP Address

Define the IP address for the VLAN associated Virtual Interface.

Use DHCP to Obtain IP

Select this option to allow DHCP to provide the IP address for the Virtual Interface. Selecting this option
disables the Primary IP address field.

Use DHCP to obtain
Gateway/DNS Servers

Select this option to allow DHCP to obtain a default gateway address, and DNS resource for one virtual
interface. This setting is disabled by default and only available when the Use DHCP to Obtain IP option
is selected.

Secondary Addresses

Use the Secondary Addresses parameter to define additional IP addresses to associate with VLAN IDs.
The address provided in this field is used if the primary IP address is unreachable.

Respond to DHCP Relay
Packets

Select the Respond to DHCP Relay Packets option to allow the onboard DHCP server to respond to
relayed DHCP packets on this interface.

DHCP Relay IP Address

Provide IP addresses for DHCP server relay resources.
The interface VLAN and gateway should have their IP addresses set. The interface VLAN and gateway
interface should not have DHCP client or DHCP Server enabled. DHCP packets cannot be relayed to an
onboard DHCP Server. The interface VLAN and gateway interface cannot be the same.
When changing from a default DHCP address to a fixed IP address, set a static route first. This is critical
when the controller or service platform is being accessed from a subnet not directly connected to the
controller or service platform and the default route was set from DHCP.
