Overview

Network address translation (NAT) allows the source or destination IP address to be changed to enable traffic to transition through a gateway or router.

HI GIO support some NAT type:

  • An SNAT rule translates the source IP address of packets sent from an organization VDC network out to an external network or to another organization VDC network.

  • A NO SNAT rule prevents the translation of the internal IP address of packets sent from an organization VDC out to an external network or to another organization VDC network.

  • A DNAT rule translates the IP address and, optionally, the port of packets received by an organization VDC network that are coming from an external network or from another organization VDC network.

  • A NO DNAT rule prevents the translation of the external IP address of packets received by an organization VDC from an external network or from another organization VDC network.

NOTE: The public IP addresses must have been added to the edge gateway interface on which you want to add the NAT rule.
