Adding and Editing Bridge NAT Configurations

To Add Bridge NAT Configurations

Using bridge NAT, a tunneled VLAN (extended VLAN) is created between the NoC and a remote location. When a remote client needs to access the Internet, Internet traffic is routed to the NoC, and from there routed to the Internet. This increases the access time for the end user on the client.

  1. Select the Configuration tab from the Web UI.
  2. Select Profiles from the Configuration tab.
  3. Select Manage Profiles from the Configuration > Profiles menu.
  4. Select Security.
