3.6.2.4 NAT excluding IP
NAT improves network security in effect by hiding the private network behind one global and visible IP
address. NAT address mapping can also be used to link two IP domains via a LAN-to-LAN connection.
Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares the single IP address
assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network. This function should only be used if your
ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses or you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If
you have a single IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able to
access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will disable your firewall functions.
