NAT traversal (port mapping) for IPv4
A n e twork router allows devices on a private network (LAN) to share a single connection to the Internet. This is done by forwarding
network traffic from the private network to the “outside”, that is, the Internet. Security on the private network (LAN) is increased
since most routers are pre-configured to stop attempts to access the private network (LAN) from the public network (Internet).
Use NAT traversal when the Axis product is located on an intranet (LAN) and you wish to make it available from the other
(WAN) side of a NAT router. With NAT tra versal properly configured, all HTTP traffic to an external H TTP port in the NAT router
isforwardedtotheproduct.
NAT traversal is configured under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
• For NAT t raversal to work, this must be supported by the router. The router m u st also support UPnP
TM
.
• The router has many different names: “NAT route r”, “Network router”, “Internet Gateway”, ”Broadband router”, “Broadband
sharing device” or “Home firewall” but the essential purpose of the device is the same.
Enable/Disable - When enabled, the Axis product attempts to configure port mapping in a NAT router on your network, using UPnP
TM
.
Note that UPnP
TM
must be enabled in the product (see System Options > N etwork > UPnP).
Use manually selected NAT router - Select this option to manually select a NAT router and enter the IP ad dress for the router in
the field. If no router is specified, the product automatically searches for NAT routers on your network. If more than one router is
found, the default router is selected.
Alternative HTTP port - Select this option to manually define an external HTTP port. Enter the port number in the field. If no port is
entered here , a port number is automatically selected when NAT traversal is enable d.
Note
• An alternative HTTP port can be used or be active even if NAT traversal is disabled . This is useful if your NAT router doe s
not support UPnP and you need to manually configur e port forwarding in the NAT router.
• If you attempt to manually ent
er a port that is already in use, another available port is automatically selected.
• When the port is sele cted automatically it is displayed in this field. To change this, enter a new port number and click Save.
FTP
The FTP server running in the Axis product enables upload of new firm ware, user applications, etc. The FTP server can be disabled
under System Options > Network > TCP/IP > Advanced.
Note
This FTP serv
er has nothing to do with the product’s ability to transfer images via FTP to other locations and servers.
