Configure a Default Server

This feature allows you to direct unsolicited or non-specific traffic to a des-
ignated LAN station. With NAT “On” in the Gateway, these packets nor-
mally would be discarded.

For instance, this could be application traffic where you don’t know (in

advance) the port or protocol that will be utilized. Some game applications
fit this profile.

Use the following steps to setup a NAT default server to receive this infor-
mation:

Step 1

Select the

Configure

toolbar button, then

Advanced

, then the

Default Server

link.

Step 2

Check the

Enable Default Server

checkbox. The NAT Server IP Address field

appears.

Step 3

Determine the IP address of the LAN computer you have chosen to receive
the unexpected or unknown traffic. Enter this address in the NAT Server IP
Address field.

Step 4

Click the

Submit

button.

Step 5

Click the

Alert

button.

Step 6

Click the

Save and Restart

link to confirm.

NAT Default Server capability is not available over SafeHarbour IPsec.
