The following section contains additional technical information about the features described in this
chapter.
NAT and SNAT
NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address in a packet in one
network to a different IP address in another network. Use SNAT (Source NAT) to change the source IP
address in one network to a different IP address in another network.

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Destination IP This parameter specifies the IP network address of the final destination. Routing is always based
on network number. If you need to specify a route to a single host, use a subnet mask of
255.255.255.255 in the subnet mask field to force the network number to be identical to the host
ID.
Subnet Mask Enter the IP subnet mask here.
Gateway IP Select the radio button and enter the IP address of the next-hop gateway. The gateway is a
router or switch on the same segment as your NXC's interface(s). The gateway helps forward
packets to their destinations.
Interface Select the radio button and a predefined interface through which the traffic is sent.
Metric Metric represents the “cost” of transmission for routing purposes. IP routing uses hop count as
the measurement of cost, with a minimum of 1 for directly connected networks. Enter a number
that approximates the cost for this link. The number need not be precise, but it must be 0~127. In
practice, 2 or 3 is usually a good number.
