Re: Auto NAT vs Manual NAT vs port mapping problem If I understand you correctly then the Server is on your network behind a R65 box with one external dynamic IP address. Do you actually need to initate a connection from the server to the client, other then reply traffic to the clients request. I would look at the SRV_REDIRECT function (look at http_mapped) for how to use this. That way rather than NATting the traffic it just redirects essentially port mapping the traffic rather then NAT as such. VPN-1/FireWall-1 can perform Port Address Translation (PAT), and includes predefined Port Mapping Services. Connections are directed to the firewall module, accepted on a given port and translated to another, then routed to an internal server, when Port Mapping Services are defined and configured. This occurs transparently to users. Procedure: Configuring predefined TCP Port Mapping Services Log into SmartDashboard. Click 'Manage > Services'. On the Services dialog box Click the drop down menu next to 'Show:', select 'User defined services' and choose the desired Port Mapping Service (e.g. http_mapped). Click the 'Advanced' button. In the 'Match' section configure the IP address of the internal server utilizing port mapping, and the mapped ports. Example: Default SRV_REDIRECT(80,0.0.0.0,80) Modified SRV_REDIRECT(80,10.20.1.5,8080) Click 'OK' and close all screens. Configure the rule (see Rule Base configuration). Rule Base Configuration Source: Any Destination: firewall_object Service: Port Mapping Service (e.g. http_mapped) Action: accept Install the Security Policy. |
