Select the General tab to configure a name and description for the NAT or NPTv6 policy. You can configure a tag to allow you to sort or filter policies when many policies exist. Select the type of NAT policy you are creating, which affects which fields are available on the Original Packet and Translated Packet tabs.

NAT Rule - General Settings	Description
Name	Enter a name to identify the rule. The name is case-sensitive and can have up to 63 characters, which can be letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores. The name must be unique on a firewall and, on Panorama, unique within its device group and any ancestor or descendant device groups.
Description	Enter a description for the rule (up to 1024 characters).
Tag	If you want to tag the policy, Add and specify the tag. A policy tag is a keyword or phrase that allows you to sort or filter policies. This is useful when you have defined many policies and want to view those that are tagged with a particular keyword.
Group Rules by Tag	Enter a tag with which to group similar policy rules. The group tag allows you to view your policy rule base based on these tags. You can group rules based on a Tag.
NAT Type	Specify the type of translation: ipv4—translation between IPv4 addresses. nat64—translation between IPv6 and IPv4 addresses. nptv6—translation between IPv6 prefixes. You cannot combine IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges in a single NAT rule.
Audit Comment	Enter a comment to audit the creation or editing of the policy rule. The audit comment is case-sensitive and can have up to 256 characters, which can be letters, numbers, spaces, hyphens, and underscores.
