The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.

Insid e / O utsid e

This denotes where a host is located relative to the NBG-418N v2, for example, the computers of your 
subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts. 

G lo b a l/ Lo c a l 

This denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the local 
address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the global 
address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side. 

Note: Inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address 

of a host used in a packet. 

An inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet when the packet is still in the 
local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the same inside host when the 
packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information.

Note: NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host.

Wha t NA T Do e s

In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber (the 
inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN 
side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) 
back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note that the IP address 
(either local or global) of an outside host is never changed.

The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In 
addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local 
network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers, NAT offers the 
additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your NBG-418N v2 filters out all

Inside

This refers to the host on the LAN.

Outside

This refers to the host on the WAN.

Local

This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the LAN.

Global

This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the WAN.
