Configuring an SM for the Destination Configuring for the Destination
282
pmp-0229 (Mar 2013)
This implementation is illustrated in Figure 48 on Page 159. In the NAT tab of an SM with NAT
disabled, you may set the following parameters.
NAT Enable/Disable
This parameter enables or disabled the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature for the SM.
NAT isolates devices connected to the Ethernet/wired side of an SM from being seen directly from
the wireless side of the SM. With NAT enabled, the SM has an IP address for transport traffic
separate from its address for management, terminates transport traffic, and allows you to assign a
range of IP addresses to devices that are connected to the Ethernet/wired side of the SM. For
further information, see Network Address Translation (NAT) on Page 158 and NAT and IP Tabs
of the SM with NAT Enabled on Page 287.
When NAT is enabled, VLANs are not supported on the wired side of that SM. You can enable
NAT in SMs within a sector where VLAN is enabled in the AP, but this may constrain network
design.
WAN Interface, Connection Type
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
WAN Interface, IP Address
This field displays the IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this
address when NAT is disabled.
WAN Interface, Subnet Mask
This field displays the subnet mask for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign this
address when NAT is disabled.
WAN Interface, Gateway IP Address
This field displays the gateway IP address for the SM. DHCP Server will not automatically assign
this address when NAT is disabled.
WAN Interface, Reply to Ping on WAN Interface
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
LAN Interface, IP Address
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
LAN Interface, Subnet Mask
This parameter is not configurable when NAT is disabled.
