4.3.3 NAT

The NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address

of a host in a packet. The default setting is Dynamic NAPT. It provides dynamic Network

Address Translation capability between LAN and multiple WAN connections, and the LAN

traffic is routed to appropriate WAN connections based on the destination IP addresses and

Route Table. This eliminates the need for the static NAT session configuration between

multiple LAN clients and multiple WAN connections.

Virtual Circuit: VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a

virtual circuit. There are eight groups of PVC can be defined and used.

Number of IPs: User can select Single or Multiple.

DMZ

The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal

IP address as the DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT

algorithms then passed to the DMZ host, when a packet received does not use a port

number used by any other Virtual Server entries.
