NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard method of mapping multiple "internal" IP addresses to one "external" IP address on devices at the edge of a network. For the RG231, the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses assigned to local PCs by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the IP address assigned to the WiMAX interface. PORT MAPPING Using the NAT Port Mapping feature, remote users can access different servers on your local network using your single public IP address. Remote users accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site thorugh your public IP address, are redirected (mapped) to other local server IP addresses and TCP/UDP port numbers. For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.7.9/80, then all HTTP requests from outside users forwarded to – 37 – CHAPTER 5 | Gateway Configuration NAT 192.168.7.9 on port 80. Therefore, by just using your external IP address provided by your ISP, Internet users can access the services they need at the local addresses to which you redirect them. The more common TCP service port numbers include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and SSH: 22. Figure 27: Port Mapping The following parameters are displayed on this page: ◆ Private IP – The IP address of the server on the local Ethernet network. The specified address must be in the same subnet as the RG231 and its DHCP server address pool. Alternatively, the IP address can be set by selecting a PC from the DHCP client list. (Range: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254) ◆ Use Client List – Allows the Private IP to be selected from the DHCP client list. ◆ Private Port – Specifies the TCP/UDP port number used on the local server for the service. (Range: 1-65535) ◆ Public Port – Specifies the public TCP/UDP port used for the service on the WAN interface. (Range: 1-65535) ◆ Services – Specifies port numbers for some of the more common services. (Options: FTP, SSH, Telnet, SMTP, HTTP, HTTPS) ◆ Comment – A text comment for the forwarding rule. ◆ Add Rules – Adds the defined rule to the port forwarding table. Use the Delete button next to a rule to remove it from the table. – 38 – CHAPTER 5 | Gateway Configuration NAT DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way internet access by defining a virtual-DMZ (virtual-demilitarizedzone) host. Figure 28: DMZ Settings The following parameters are displayed on this page: ◆ Enable – Enables the feature. (Default: Disabled) ◆ DMZ Host – Specifies the IP address of the virtual DMZ host. Alternatively, the host IP can be set by selecting a PC from the DHCP client list. (Range: 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254) ◆ Use Client List – Allows the host IP to be selected from the DHCP client list. NOTE: Adding a host to the DMZ may expose your local network to a variety of security risks, so only use this option as a last resort. – 39 – CHAPTER 5 | Gateway Configuration Route ROUTE The Routing Table displays the list of static routes on the unit. Figure 29: Routing Table The following parameters are displayed in this section on this page: ◆ Route – The IP address that identifies the IP subnet of the remote network. ◆ Gateway – The IP address of the router within the local IP subnet that forwards traffic to the remote IP subnet. ◆ Netmask – The mask that identifies the IP subnet of the remote network. ◆ Interface – Indicates the local network interface on the unit. – 40 – SECTION III APPENDICES This section provides additional information and includes these items: ◆ “Troubleshooting” on page 42 ◆ “Hardware Specifications” on page 44 ◆ “Cables and Pinouts” on page 48 – 41 – A TROUBLESHOOTING DIAGNOSING LED INDICATORS Table 9: Troubleshooting Chart Symptom Action Power LED is Off ◆ AC power adapter may be disconnected.
