9-2 User’ s Reference Guide The following is a general description of these features: Port Address T ranslation The simplest for m of classic Network Address Translation is PAT (Por t Address T ranslation).
Multiple Network Address T ranslation 9-3 When addresses ar e retur ned to the group of available addr esses, they are r etur ned to the head of the group, being the most recently used. If that same host r equests a connection an hour later , and the same public address is still available, then it will be mapped to the same private host.
9-4 User’ s Reference Guide Exterior addresses ar e allocated to internal hosts on a demand, or as-needed, basis and then made available when traf fic fr om that host ceases. Once an inter nal host has been allocated an address, it will use that address for all traf fic.
Multiple Network Address T ranslation 9-5 In order to suppor t this type of mapping, you define two addr ess ranges. First, you define a public range which contains the first and last public address to be used and the way in which these addr esses should be used (P A T , static, or dynamic).
9-6 User’ s Reference Guide Easy Setup Profile configuration The screen below is an example. Depending on the type of r outer you are using, fields displayed in this scr een may var y . The Local W AN IP Addr ess is used to configure a NA T public address range consisting of the Local W AN IP Address and all its por ts.
Multiple Network Address T ranslation 9-7 Y ou can configur e a simple 1-to-many P A T (often r efer r ed to simply as NA T) mapping using Easy Setup. Mor e complex setups requir e configuration using the Network Address Translation item on the IP Setup screen.

Security 11-11 This filter blocks any packets coming from a r emote network with the IP network address 200.233.14.0. The 0 at the end of the address signifies any host on the class C IP network 200.233.14.0. If, for example, the filter is applied to a packet with the source IP addr ess 200.
11-12 User’ s Reference Guide An approach to using filters The ultimate goal of network security is to prevent unauthorized access to the network without compr omising authorized access.

It is impor tant to note that a packet filter does not look into the IP data stream (the User Data fr om above) to make filtering decisions.
11-22 User’ s Reference Guide Fir ewall design rules There ar e two basic r ules to firewall design: ■ “What is not explicitly allowed is denied.” and ■ “What is not explicitly denied is allowed.” The first r ule is far more secur e, and is the best approach to fir ewall design.
Security 11-23 Logical AND function When a packet is compared (in most cases) a logical AND function is per for med. First the IP addresses and subnet masks are conver ted to binar y and then combined with AND.
11-24 User’ s Reference Guide Example filter set screen This is an example of the Netopia filter set screen: Filter basics In the source or destination IP addr ess fields, the IP address that is enter ed must be the network address of the subnet.
Security 11-25 Example network Example filters Example 1 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.28 This incoming IP packet has a source IP addr ess that matches the network address in the Sour ce IP Address field (00000000) in the Netopia 4541/4542.
11-26 User’ s Reference Guide Example 2 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.184. This incoming IP packet (10000000) has a source IP addr ess that does not match the network address in the Source IP Addr ess field (00000000) in the Netopia 4541/4542.
Security 11-27 Example 4 Incoming packet has the source addr ess of 200.1.1.104. Since the Source IP Network Addr ess in the Netopia 4541/4542 is 01100000, and the sour ce IP address after the logical AND is 01100000, this r ule does match and this packet will not be for warded.
