Address Mapping
The Network Address Translation (NAT) service of OxyGEN miniOffice allows multiple hosts in the internal
LAN to share the same external (public) IP address. While this is adequate for most users, it is sometimes
required (normally in business environments), to share more than one external IP addresses. This is the
case, for example, when a SOHO/SME has been provided multiple static IP addresses by the ISP and
the administrator wants to use one of these IP addresses for the company’s Web server, a second for
the FTP server, etc.
The
Address Mapping
configuration sub-menu allows the controlled mapping of external IP addresses
to LAN hosts.
Figure 9.8: NAT Static Address Mapping
In order to configure such a mapping:
1. Enter the
External Address
value
2. Specify the LAN host this mapping rule will apply to. Under the
LAN Address
heading, enter the
LAN IP address of the internal server. Note that, if the desired LAN server obtains its IP address from
the OxyGEN miniOffice through DHCP, you can select it from the drop-down list.
Repeat the above procedure for all required external IP addresses and corresponding LAN servers,
and finally click
Apply
to activate the service.
