Static NAT
This feature allows you to:
•
Direct your Router to for ward all externally initiated IP traffic (TCP and UDP protocols
only) to a default host on the LAN.
•
Enable it for cer tain situations:
– Where you cannot anticipate what por t number or packet protocol an in-bound appli-
cation might use. For example, some network games select arbitrar y por t numbers
when a connection is opened.
– When you want all unsolicited traffic to go to a specific LAN host.
This feature allows you to direct unsolicited or non-specific traffic to a designated LAN sta-
tion. With NAT “On” in the Router, these packets normally would be discarded.
For instance, this could be application traffic where you don’t know (in advance) the por t or
protocol that will be used. Some game applications fit this profile.
From the pull-down menu, select the address of the PC that you want to be your default
NAT destination.
