1.2.5.11 NAT
Network Address Translation (NAT) is supported for packets routed by the switch. The following types of NAT
are supported:
• Port NAT– Port NAT (also known as NAPT) entails multiple local addresses are mapped to single global
address and a dynamic port number. The user is not required to configure any NAT IP address. Instead IP
address of the public interface of the switch is used to NAT packets going out from private network and
vice versa for packets entering private network.
• Static NAT– Static NAT is similar to Port NAT with the only difference being that it allows the user to
configure a source NAT IP address and/or destination NAT IP address to which all the packets will be
NATted to. The source NAT IP address is used when hosts on a private network are trying to access a
host on a public network. A destination NAT IP address can be used for public hosts to talk to a host on
a private network.
1.2.5.12 Certificate Management
Certificate Management is used to provide a standardized procedure to:
• Generate a Server certificate request and upload the server certificate signed by certificate authority
(CA).
• Uploading of CA's root certificate
• Creating a self-signed certificate
Certificate management will be used by the applications HTTPS, VPN, HOTSPOT and Radius. For information
on configuring switch certificate management, see Creating Server Certificates on page 6-108.
1.2.5.13 NAC
Using Network Access Control (NAC), the switch hardware and software grants access to specific network
resources. NAC performs a user and MU authorization check for resources that do not have a NAC agent.
NAC verifies a MU’s compliance with the switch’s security policy. The switch supports only the EAP/802.1x
type of NAC. However, the switch also provides a mean to bypass NAC authentication for MU’s that do not
have NAC 802.1x support (printers, phones, PDAs etc.). For information on configuring NAC support, see
Configuring NAC Server Support on page 4-51.
1.2.6 Supported Access Ports/Points
A RF switch supports the adoption of the following Motorola Enterprise Access Ports and Access Points:
• AP100
• AP300
• AP-4131
• AP-5131
• AP-5181
• AP-7131
• AP-650
