Additional Topics for IPSec SA
This section provides more information about IPSec SA in your UAG.
NAT for Inbound and Outbound Traffic
The UAG can translate the following types of network addresses in IPSec SA.
• Source address in outbound packets - this translation is necessary if you want the UAG to route
packets from computers outside the local network through the IPSec SA.
• Source address in inbound packets - this translation hides the source address of computers in the
remote network.
• Destination address in inbound packets - this translation is used if you want to forward packets
(for example, mail) from the remote network to a specific computer (like the mail server) in the
local network.
Each kind of translation is explained below. The following example is used to help explain each one.

VPN Example: NAT for Inbound and Outbound Traffic
Source Address in Outbound Packets (Outbound Traffic, Source NAT)
This translation lets the UAG route packets from computers that are not part of the specified local
network (local policy) through the IPSec SA. For example, in
, you have to
configure this kind of translation if you want computer M to establish a connection with any
computer in the remote network (B). If you do not configure it, the remote IPSec router may not
route messages for computer M through the IPSec SA because computer M’s IP address is not part
of its local policy.
To set up this NAT, you have to specify the following information:
• Source - the original source address; most likely, computer M’s network.
