Field Description

When Transparent Routing Mode is enabled, NAT is not performed on trac between the LAN and WAN
interfaces. Broadcast and multicast packets that arrive on the LAN interface are switched to the WAN and vice
versa, if they do not get ltered by rewall or VPN policies. To maintain the LAN and WAN in the same broadcast
domain select Transparent mode, which allows bridging of trac from LAN to WAN and vice versa, except
for router-terminated trac and other management trac. All DSR features (such as 3G modem support) are
supported in transparent mode assuming the LAN and WAN are congured to be in the same broadcast domain.
Note: NAT routing has a feature called “NAT Hair -pinning” that allows internal network users on the LAN and DMZ to
access internal servers (e.g., an internal FTP server) using their externally-known domain name. This is also referred to as
“NAT loopback” since LAN generated trac is redirected through the rewall to reach LAN servers by their external name.
