How to Create a Destination NAT Access Rule

  • Last updated on

A Dst NAT access rule redirects traffic that is sent to an external IP address to a destination in the internal network. The following example shows a Dst NAT rule allowing HTTP and HTTPS access from the Internet to a server in the DMZ (172.16.0.10). The redirect target can be a single IP address or hostname, or a network object. Hostnames and IP addresses can be appended with a port number to redirect the traffic to a different port.

Create a Dst NAT Access Rule

  1. Go to CONFIGURATION > Configuration Tree > Box > Virtual Servers > your virtual server > Assigned Services > Firewall > Forwarding Rules.
  2. Click Lock.

  4. Select Dst NAT as the action.
  5. Enter a N ame for the rule. For example, Internet-2-DMZ-HTTPS-Server.
  6. Specify the following settings that must be matched by the traffic to be handled by the access rule:
    • Source – The source addresses of the traffic.
    • Destination – The destination addresses of the traffic.
    • Service – Select a service object, or select Any for this rule to match for all services.

    • Target List – The redirection target. You have the following options to define the target:

      • Enter one IP address with or without a specific port. If you append a port to the IP address, the firewall maps the external port to that of the internal server (port 80 to port 8080). For example, 172.16.0.10 or 172.16.0.10:8080.
      • Enter a space-delimited list of up to 32 IP addresses.
      • Click the Reference check box, and select a network object from the drop-down list that appears. If the network object contains multiple IP addresses, only the first IP address is used.

    • Fallback/Cycle – If you have defined multiple target IP addresses, select how the firewall distributes the traffic between the IP addresses.
      • Fallback – The connection is redirected to the first available IP address in the list.
      • Cycle – New incoming TCP connections are distributed evenly over the available IP addresses in the list on a per-source-IP-address basis. The same redirection target is used for all subsequent connections of the source IP address. UDP connections are redirected to the first IP address and not cycled.
    • List of Critical Ports – Enter a space-delimited list of ports used. By default, the available/unavailable policy considers all ports of the allowed rule services. If a connection to such a port fails, the target is marked unavailable and the rest of the targets are used as the new list. If there are entries in the critical ports list, only failed connections to these ports lead to a state change of the respective target from available to unavailable. Separate multiple critical port entries with a space.

    • Connection Method – For more information, see Connection Objects.
  7. Click OK.
  8. Drag and drop the access rule so that it is the first rule that matches the traffic that you want it to forward. Ensure that the rule is located above the BLOCKALL rule; rules located below the BLOCKALL rule are never executed.
  9. Click Send Changes and Activate.
