Configuring NAT information
6
NAT enables network administrators to move a Web or FTP Server to another host without having
to troubleshoot broken links. Change the inbound mapping with the new inside local address to
reflect the new host. Configure changes to your internal network seemlessly since the only external
IP address either belongs to the switch or from a pool of global addresses.
The switch NAT configuration process is divided into the following configuration activities:
• Defining Dynamic NAT translations
• Defining static NAT translations
• Configuring NAT interfaces
• Viewing NAT status
Defining Dynamic NAT translations
Dynamic NAT translates the IP address of packets going out from one interface to another
interface based on the conditions configured in the list. Dynamic NAT requires packets to be
switched through the NAT router to generate translations in the switch translation table.
Refer to the NAT screen’s Dynamic Translation tab to view existing dynamic NAT configurations
available to switch.
To view and add/edit a dynamic NAT configuration:
1. Select Security > NAT from the main menu tree.
2. Click on the Dynamic Translation tab.
