NAT Security Profile
A NAT security profile defines security profile features such as session idle timeouts. Profiles 
can vary from subscriber to subscriber and are applied to policies, which are then applied to 
zones at the time the zone is created. All profile timeouts are defined in days, hours, minutes, 
and seconds. Profiles are referenced by NAT policies.
Profile timeouts are used for timing out datapath sessions within specified connection states. 
For example, in a TCP three-way handshake, each state has its own configurable timeout 
value. If the TCP connection has not transitioned from a state within the time period of the 
configured timeout, the session will automatically time out and be removed from the 
datapath. 
NAT profile attributes are described in Table 5.
Note: NAT security profile 1 is the default profile and cannot be modified. By default, this 
profile is assigned to any security policy that does not have a profile.
