NAT
The
NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing
multiple users to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT
break the originally envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can
cause problems where IPSec/ PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as
SIP phones are located behind a NAT. And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept
incoming communications.
NAT Status:
Enabled. (Disabled if WAN connection is in
BRIDGE
mode)
ALG
VPN Passthrough:

ALG when SIP phone includes NAT-Traversal algorithm.
