changed back to the specific internal private class IP address in order to reach the LAN over the

the source and destination points within the NAT configuration. Ensure the VLAN selected

Defining Static NAT Translations
Static NAT creates a permanent, one-to-one mapping between an address on an internal network and a
perimeter or external network. To share a Web server on a perimeter interface with the Internet, use
static address translation to map the actual address to a registered IP address. Static address translation
hides the actual address of the server from users on insecure interfaces. Casual access by unauthorized
users becomes much more difficult. Static NAT requires a dedicated address on the outside network for
each host.
Refer to the NAT screen’s Static Translation tab to view existing static NAT configurations available to
controller.
To view and add/edit a dynamic NAT configuration:
1 Select Security > NAT from the main menu tree.
2 Click the Static Translation tab.
