The Netopia R5000 Series Router implements a power ful feature called NAT as specified in RFC 1631. NAT is
used for IP address conser vation and for security purposes since there will only be a single IP “presence” on
the WAN. This appendix describes the NAT functionality within the Netopia R5000 Series Router and provides
examples for setup and use.

NAT is a mechanism employed within the Netopia R5000 Series Router to acquire a statically or dynamically
assigned IP address on its WAN inter face and proxy against locally assigned IP addresses on its LAN inter face.
The Netopia R5000 Series Router uses a one-to-many IP address mapping scheme; that is against a single IP
address the Netopia R5000 Series Router acquires on its WAN inter face, the Netopia R5000 Series Router can
proxy 14, 30, or an unlimited number of IP hosts on the LAN inter face.
In order to fully understand how NAT works, you must understand how a PPP connection is established and IP
addresses are negotiated.
