Mapped IP
Internal private IP addresses are translated through NAT (Network Address
Translation). If a server is located in the internal network, it has a private IP
address, and outside users cannot connect directly to internal servers’
private IP address. To connect to an internal network server, outside users
have to first connect to a real IP address of the external network, and the real
IP is translated to a private IP of the internal network. Mapped IP and Virtual
Server are the two methods to translate the real IP into private IP. Mapped IP
maps IP in one-to-one fashion; that means, all services of one real external
IP address is mapped to one private internal IP address.
Entering the Mapped IP window:
