Policies > NAT
If you define Layer 3 interfaces on the firewall, you
can
configure a Network Address Translation (NAT)
policy
to specify
whether source or destination IP addresses and ports are converted
between public and private addresses and ports. For example, private
source addresses can be translated to public addresses on traffic
sent from an internal (trusted) zone to a public (untrusted) zone.
NAT is also supported on virtual wire interfaces.
NAT rules are based on source and destination zones, source and
destination addresses, and application service (such as HTTP). Like
security policies, NAT policy rules are compared against incoming
traffic in sequence, and the first rule that matches the traffic
is applied.
As needed, add static routes to the local router so that traffic
to all public addresses is routed to the firewall. You may also
need to add static routes to the receiving interface on the firewall
to route traffic back to the private address.
The following tables describe the NAT and NPTv6 (IPv6-to-IPv6
Network Prefix Translation) settings:
