Learn how to create Network Address Translation (NAT) rules to enable multiple devices to share a public IP address and manage network traffic securely.

This procedure describes how to create NAT rules.

You can use Network Address Translation (NAT) rules to convert private IP addresses into a single public IP address, allowing multiple devices on your network to share one public IP for internet access. This helps conserve public IP addresses and improves security by hiding internal IPs from external networks.

NAT also lets you set rules to control and manage traffic, guaranteeing only authorized data flows between your private and public networks, making it an essential tool for efficient and secure network management.

Procedure

1.

From Network page, choose the desired uplink radio in Wireless Interface .

2.

Set the NAT Outside Port Min and NAT Outside Port Max values in Radio Configurations > NAT .

Both NAT Outside Port Min and NAT Outside Port Max values for NAT port ranges must fall within the range of 1 to 65535.

3.

From Cisco WGB Web UI, choose Advance > NAT .

4.

Click Create and update these values:

  • Global port: Specify 443 as the external (public-facing) port for communication.

  • Local IP: Specify the internal (private) IP address of the device being mapped.

  • Local Port: Specify the type of traffic, such as TCP or UDP, to be translated.

  • Traffic Type: Specify the type of traffic, such as TCP or UDP, to be translated.
