NAT Original Packet Tab

  • Policies > NAT > Original Packet
Select the
Original Packet
tab to define the source and destination zones of packets that the firewall will translate and, optionally, specify the destination interface and type of service. You can configure multiple source and destination zones of the same type and you can apply the rule to specific networks or specific IP addresses.
NAT Rule - Original Packet Settings
Description
Source Zone / Destination Zone
Select one or more source and destination zones for the original (non-NAT) packet (default is
Any
). Zones must be of the same type (Layer 2, Layer 3, or virtual wire). To define new zones, refer to Network > Zones.
You can specify multiple zones to simplify management. For example, you can configure settings so that multiple internal NAT addresses are directed to the same external IP address.
Destination Interface
Specify the destination interface of packets the firewall translates. You can use the destination interface to translate IP addresses differently in the case where the network is connected to two ISPs with different IP address pools.
Service
Specify the service for which the firewall translates the source or destination address. To define a new service group, select Objects > Service Groups.
Source Address / Destination Address
Specify a combination of source and destination addresses for the firewall to translate.
For NPTv6, the prefixes configured for
Source Address
and
Destination Address
must be in the format xxxx:xxxx::/yy. The address cannot have an interface identifier (host) portion defined. The range of supported prefix lengths is /32 to /64.
