12 • NAT/NAPT configuration
The IPLink software NAPT can handle one GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) connection and one ESP
(Encapsulating Security Payload) connection at a time. It also routes ICMP messages back to the source of the
concerned connection or to the source of an ICMP Ping message.
To enable NAPT traversal of protocols that open additional connections, the NAPT component must analyze
these protocols at the Application Level in order to understand which NAPT entries for additional connections
it should create and which IP addresses/ports it must modify (e.g. for voice connections in addition to signal-
ing connections). It performs this task for the protocol FTP. Other protocols such as H.323 and SIP cannot
traverse the IPLink software NAPT.
NAT/NAPT configuration task list
To configure the NAT/NAPT component, perform the tasks in the following sections:
•
Creating a NAPT profile (see
page 132
)
•
Activating NAT/NAPT (see
page 132
)
•
Displaying NAT/NAPT configuration information (see
page 135
)
Creating a NAPT profile
A NAPT profile defines the behavior of the NAT/NAPT component, comprising all four types of NAT/NAPT
(this profile is called ‘NAPT profile’ and not ‘NAT/NAPT profile for historical reasons). Several NAPT profiles
are admissible but there is only one NAT/NAPT component.
Procedure:
To create a NAPT profile and to configure the required types of NAT/NAPT
Mode: Configure
Step
Command
Purpose
1
node
(cfg)#
profile napt
name
Creates the NAPT profile
name
and activates the
basic behavior of the Dynamic NAPT
2
(optional)
node
(pf-napt)[
name
]#
range
local-
ip-range-start local-ip-range-stop
global-ip
Configures and activates the enhanced behavior of
the Dynamic NAPT:
local-ip-range-start
and
local-ip-
range-stop
define the subset of local hosts that use
the global NAT address
global-ip
to access to global
network.
(max. 20 entries)
The IP ranges of different Dynamic NAPT entries must
not overlap each other.
3
(optional)
node
(pf-napt)[
name
]#
static
{ udp | tcp }
local-ip local-port
[
global-ip
] [
global-port
]
Creates a Static NAPT entry:
local-ip/local-port
is
mapped to
global-ip/global-port
. If
global-port
is
omitted,
local-port
is used on both sides. If
global-ip
is omitted, the global address is the address of the
global interface.
(max. 20 UDP and 20 TCP entries)
