<h1 class="topictitle1">Static (map) NAT</h1>
<div><p>Static (map) network address translation (NAT) provides a one-to-one
mapping of private IP addresses to public IP addresses. It allows you to map
an IP address on your internal network to an IP address that you want to make
public.</p>
<p>Static NAT allows communication to be initiated from your internal network
or an external network, like the Internet. It is especially useful if you
have a server within your internal network that you want to allow public users
to access. In this case, you need to create a NAT rule that maps the actual
server address to a public address. The public address will become external
information. This ensures that private information remains out of the hands
of someone who might attack your systems.</p>
<p>The following list highlights the features of static NAT:</p>
<ul><li>One-to-one mapping</li>
<li>External and internal network initiation</li>
<li>The address you associate or map to can be any address</li>
<li>The address you associate or map to becomes un-usable as an IP interface</li>
<li>Does not use port-mapped NAT</li>
</ul>
<div class="attention"><span class="attentiontitle">Attention:</span> Use caution if you decide to map a personal computer
to the well-known address of the iSeries™ server. The <dfn class="term">well-known
address</dfn> is the IP address reserved for most Internet and intranet traffic.
If you do map to this IP address, NAT will translate all traffic and send
it to the internal private address. Because this interface will be reserved
for NAT, your iSeries server
and the interface become unusable.</div>
