Description

Type

For inbound and outbound addresses, you can choose from an option of three type of address maps.

Left Hand Side

For inbound and outbound addresses, this is the local or private address that becomes translated before it goes out to the Internet. Lucent recommmends using one of the private IP address ranges specified in RFC 1918 to number your private networks, which are as follows:

  • 10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)

  • 172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)
  • 192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255 (172.168.0./16)

Right Hand Side

For inbound addresses, this is the legal IP address.

Log

Select this checkbox if you want to selectively log events for this map entry. For example, when an outbound map is specified, a syslog message is sent to loghost whenever successful translation of this map entry occurs.
