DSA-3110 Hotspot Edition – User Manual
NAT Function
The
NAT (Network Address Translation) service
allows using a single private IP addresses in
several internal subnets, thereby fewer registered IP addresses are required.
A NAT-enabled device is located on the edge between the public and private networks and translates
private IP addresses to unique global IP addresses before sending packets to the external network.
The NAT service can perform
static
or
dynamic
translation.
Static NAT
is a type of translation
where a user himself configures addresses in the mapping table. In this case, specific internal
addresses are mapped to previously specified external addresses.
Dynamic NAT
is a type of
translation when a NAT-enabled edge device is configured to translate internal (private) addresses to
external (public) ones taken from a previously specified address pool. As well, several internal hosts
of a network can use one external IP address, which helps to save address space.
