Configure S-PAT & S-NAT
- How to get into the ordering process: Order Management
- If you want to enable individual servers to be reached from the Internet, you can configure this via PAT (port address translation) or NAT (network address translation).
- For this, individual fixed public IP addresses (size /32) are needed, which you can purchase in Order Management.
- Address blocks (size /30 and larger) can only be used with the DMZ, not for PAT/NAT.
- NAT/PAT is only possible for WAN IP addresses that have been rented via the Dashboard.
- You can createf PAT/NAT rules under Security > S-NAT-Links or S-PAT-Links and assign the public IP address.
- For this, in the first step, you define the server and in the second step, you apply the PAT or NAT rules to it.
- Under Security > S-NAT Links or S-PAT Links you can now carry out the corresponding configuration.
- When configuring S-NAT, all ports on the specified public IP address are opened and are thus accessible from the Internet.
- When configuring an S-PAT rule, only the specified ports/portranges are opened.
- The specified IP address is thus only accessible from the Internet under the specified ports/portranges.
- If required, NAT Loopback can be activated in the checkbox on the respective link.
-
Configure the following mandatory fields under Security > S-NAT Links or S-PAT Links
- Name for the S-NAT connection
- Public IP address with which the server is to be reached from the Internet
- Private IP address of the server to which the traffic is to be forwarded
-
Confirm and save your configuration
-
You can make further configurations or already send the shopping basket to activate the configuration.
- If you want to make several servers accessible from the Internet that are physically located at the same Enterprise Connect S location, you can also set up a DMZ instead of S-PAT/S-NAT.
- On an S-NAT/S-PAT connection, you can only configure standard inbound and outbound rules with the firewall.
