6.5.2 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
switch.
To view and add/edit a dynamic NAT configuration:
1. Select Security > NAT from the main menu tree.
2. Click the Static Translation tab.
