NAT Default Server
The NAT default server feature allows you to:
Direct your NVG599 device to forward all externally initiated IP traffic (TCP and UDP protocols only) to a
default host on the LAN, specified by your entry in the Internal Address field.
Enable the default server for certain situations:
– Where you cannot anticipate what port number or packet protocol an in-bound application might use. For
example, some network games select arbitrary port numbers when a connection is opened.
– When you want all unsolicited traffic to go to a specific LAN host.
This feature allows you to direct unsolicited or non-specific traffic to a designated LAN station. With NAT on in
the device, these packets normally would be discarded. For instance, this feature could be used for application
traffic where you do not know in advance the port or protocol that will be used. Some game applications fit
this profile.
