14.7 Static NAT
If you select Firewall Settings in the top navigation menu and then select Static NAT in the left submenu, the
following screen will appear.
NOTE: A block of static IP addresses must be purchased from Verizon to configure this feature.
Static NAT allows LAN devices to use public IP addresses (different from the Router’s public IP address). The LAN
devices are still configured with private IP addresses (either statically or dynamically through DHCP). Traffic
between the LAN devices and the Internet is still NAT’ed, but the Static NAT mappings allow packets from specific
devices to use a distinct public IP address; and packets sent to different public IP addresses to be forwarded to
specific devices.
With Static NAT, devices that are behind the firewall and that are configured with private IP addresses appear to
have public IP addresses on the Internet. This allows an internal host, such as a Web server, to have an unregistered
(private) IP address and still be reachable over the Internet.
To configure Static NAT, click the New IP Address link.
