Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT allows private networks that use unregistered IP addresses to connect to the Internet. NAT translates
private IP addresses in the internal network to public IP addresses before forwarding the packets onto
another network.
Application Layer Gateway (ALG)
The ALG function allows you to implement transparent network translation on certain application layer
protocols. NAT ALG supports the following protocols:
• File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
• Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
• Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)
You can enable the ALG function on these protocols by enabling the toggle switch located beside the
protocol name.
Port Forwarding
You can configure port forwarding rules that can be used to direct incoming and outgoing traffic on your
router to a device connected to your network.
