Field Description
Routing Settings Select Transparent.
Save Click to save and activate your settings.
When Transparent Routing Mode is enabled, NAT is not performed on traīc between the LAN and WAN
interfaces. Broadcast and multicast packets that arrive on the LAN interface are switched to the WAN and vice
versa, if they do not get īltered by īrewall or VPN policies. To maintain the LAN and WAN in the same broadcast
domain select Transparent mode, which allows bridging of traīc from LAN to WAN and vice versa, except
for router-terminated traīc and other management traīc. All DSR features (such as 3G modem support) are
supported in transparent mode assuming the LAN and WAN are conīgured to be in the same broadcast domain.
Note: NAT routing has a feature called āNAT Hair -pinningā that allows internal network users on the LAN and DMZ to
access internal servers (e.g., an internal FTP server) using their externally-known domain name. This is also referred to as
āNAT loopbackā since LAN generated traīc is redirected through the īrewall to reach LAN servers by their external name.
