Chapter 10 The NAT Configuration Screens
User’s Guide
126
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
10.3 Port Forwarding
A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example,
web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT
makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Use the ADVANCED > NAT Configuration > Port Forwarding screen to
forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You
may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and
the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for
example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for
unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for
example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port
numbers.
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A
service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is
forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is
simply discarded.

Max NAT/Firewall
Session Per User
When computers use peer to peer applications, such as file
sharing applications, they may use a large number of NAT
sessions.
If you do not limit the number of NAT sessions a single
client can establish, this can result in all of the available NAT
sessions being used. In this case, no additional NAT sessions can
be established, and users may not be able to access the Internet.
Each NAT session establishes a corresponding firewall session. Use
this field to limit the number of NAT/firewall sessions each client
computer can establish through the WiMAX Device.
If your network has a small number of clients using peer to peer
applications, you can raise this number to ensure that their
performance is not degraded by the number of NAT sessions they
can establish. If your network has a large number of users using
peer to peer applications, you can lower this number to ensure no
single client is using all of the available NAT sessions.
