AudioCodes Mediant 1000B - Configuring NAT Translation Per IP Interface

Version 7.2 155 Mediant 1000B Gateway & E-SBC
User's Manual 12. Network
12.7.1.2 Configuring NAT Translation per IP Interface
The NAT Translation table lets you configure up to 32 network address translation (NAT)
rules for translating source IP addresses per VoIP interface (SIP control and RTP media
traffic) into NAT IP addresses (global - public) when the device is located behind NAT. The
device's NAT traversal mechanism replaces the source IP address of SIP messages sent
from a specified VoIP interface to a public IP address. This allows, for example, the
separation of VoIP traffic between different ITSPs and topology hiding of internal IP
addresses from the “public” network. Each IP network interface, configured in the IP
Interfaces table can be associated with a NAT rule, translating the source IP address and
port of the outgoing packet into the NAT address (IP address and port range).
The following procedure describes how to configure NAT translation rules through the Web
interface. You can also configure it through ini file (NATTranslation) or CLI (configure
network > nat-translation).
 To configure NAT translation rules:
1. Open the NAT Translation table (Setup menu > IP Network tab > Core Entities
folder > NAT Translation).
2. Click New; the following dialog box appears:

3. Configure a NAT translation rule according to the parameters described in the table
below.
4. Click Apply, and then save your settings to flash memory.

Parameter Description
Source
Index
index
[NATTranslation_Index]
Defines an index number for the new table row.
Note: Each row must be configured with a unique index.
Source Interface
src-interface-name
[NATTranslation_SrcIPInterfaceName]
Assigns an IP network interface (configured in the IP
Interfaces table) to the rule. Outgoing packets sent from the
specified network interface are NAT'ed.
By default, no value is defined.
To configure IP network interfaces, see ''Configuring IP
Network Interfaces'' on page 142.
