The Firewall uses the requested service (or destination port) to send the traffic to the correct server. Hide NAT with Port Translation - Use one IP address and let external users access multiple application servers in a hidden network.The Firewall can translate up to 50,000 connections at the same time from external computers and servers. Connections can only start from internal computers, external computers CANNOT access internal servers. Hide NAT - The Firewall uses port numbers to translate all specified internal IP addresses to a single public IP address and hides the internal IP structure.The Firewall can allow external traffic to access internal resources. Static NAT - Each internal IP address is translated to a different public IP address.You can manually create NAT rules for different configurations and deployments.Ī Security Gateway can use these procedures to translate IP addresses in your network:.SmartDashboard can automatically create Static and Hide NAT rules that translate the applicable traffic.Easily enable the Firewall to translate all traffic that goes to the internal network.SmartDashboard gives you the flexibility to make necessary configurations for your network: The packet from the external computer goes to the correct internal computer. The packet comes back from the external computer, the Firewall translates the new IP address back to the original IP address. For example, when an internal computer sends a packet to an external computer, the Firewall translates the source IP address to a new one. The Firewall can change both the source and destination IP addresses in a packet. You can also use NAT to supply more IPv4 addresses for the network. NAT protects the identity of a network and does not show internal IP addresses to the Internet. You can enable NAT for all SmartDashboard objects to help manage network traffic.

#Use a checkpoint firewall as a router on a stick software#
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a feature of the Firewall Software Blade and replaces IPv4 and IPv6 addresses to add more security.
