3.8.1 NAT Setting 

 

 

 

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single  

public IP address or multiple public IP addresses. NAT can also prevent hacker attacks by mapping local 

addresses to public addresses for key services such as the Web or FTP.
