NAT Mappings

The Peplink Balance allows the IP address mapping of all inbound and outbound

NAT’

ed traffic to and

from an internal client IP address.

NAT Mappings can be configured at:

Network>NAT Mappings

.

To add a rule for NAT Mappings, click

Add NAT Rule

and the following screen will be displayed:

NAT Mapping Settings

LAN Client(s)

NAT Mapping rules can be defined for a single LAN

IP Address

, an

IP Range

, or an

IP

Network

.

Address

This refers to the LA

N host’s private IP address.

The system maps this address to a

number of public IP addresses (specified below) in order to facilitate inbound and

outbound traffic.

This option is only available when

IP Address

is selected.

Range

The IP range is a contiguous group of private IP addresses used by the LAN host. The

system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses(specified below) to

facilitate outbound traffic.

This option is only available when

IP Range

is selected.

Network

The IP network refers to all private IP addresses and ranges managed by the LAN host.

The system maps these addresses to a number of public IP addresses(specified below)

to facilitate outbound traffic.

This option is only available when

IP Network

is selected.

Inbound

Mappings

This setting specifies the WAN connections and corresponding WAN-specific Internet IP

addresses on which the system should bind. Any access to the specified WAN

connection(s) and IP address(es) will be forwarded to the LAN Host.

This option is only available when

IP Address

is selected in LAN Client(s) field.

Note 1: Inbound Mapping is not needed for WAN connections in drop-in or IP forwarding

mode.

Note 2: Each WAN IP address can be associated to one NAT Mapping only.

Outbound

Mappings

This setting specifies the WAN IP addresses should be used when an IP connection is

made from a LAN host to the Internet.

Each LAN host in an IP range or IP network will be evenly mapped to one of each

selected WAN's IP addresses (for better IP address utilization) in a persistent manner (for

better application compatibility).

Note 1: If you do not want to use a specific WAN for outgoing accesses, you should still

choose default here, then customize the outbound access rule in the Outbound Policy

section.

Note 2: WAN connections in drop-in or IP forwarding mode are not shown here.

Click

Save

to save the settings when configuration has been completed.

Important Note

Inbound firewall rules override Inbound Mapping settings.
