Option | Definition |
---|---|

the NGFW Engine uses the default NAT address.
When you select On or Automatic, a NAT rule is generated at the end of the IPv4 or IPv6 NAT rules in the policy. |

Option | Definition |
---|---|
Default NAT Address | Used to automatically translate traffic from internal networks to the public IP address of the external interface. Note: When several IP addresses from
the same network are available, the SMC automatically selects the smallest IPv4 address as the default NAT address.
|
Internal Networks | Shows the internal networks that are translated to the public IP address of the external interface. |
NAT Definition Properties dialog box
Use this dialog box to define NAT Definition properties.
Option | Definition |
---|---|

NAT.
|

Port Filter
(Optional) |
To limit NAT only to traffic that goes to selected destination ports, select a Service or Service Group element to act as a port filter. The Service or Service Group element includes the destination port information (a single destination port or a range of ports). Click Add to add an element to the list, or Remove to remove the selected element. |
