Display NAT rules
When the Network Address Translation (NAT) integration is available in your environment, to display NAT IPs and NAT rules:
- Go to Virtual datacenters → select virtual datacenter → Network → NAT
To display NAT rules for a VM:
- Go to Virtual datacenters → select VM → go to VM control panel → select NAT
To manage NAT rules for a VM:
- Go to Virtual datacenters → edit VM → Networks → NAT
Create a virtual datacenter with NAT
When you create a virtual datacenter with NAT, you can select the NAT network and the IP address for the default SNAT rule. See Create a virtual datacenter
Obtain an additional NAT IP for your virtual datacenter
In addition to the NAT IP address assigned to the virtual datacenter, you can obtain NAT IP addresses for creating additional NAT rules.
To obtain an additional NAT IP address:
- Go to Virtual datacenters → Network → NAT
- Click the + Add button on the top right-hand side of the screen
- Select the NAT network and click Accept
The platform will reserve an IP address and allocate it to your virtual datacenter.
You can then use the NAT IP address as the public IP address for a load balancer or to provide access to a private IP address.
Create a DNAT rule
To enable VMs outside your VDC to connect to a VM with a private IP address, after you obtain a NAT IP, create a destination NAT rule, which is also called a DNAT rule. To create a DNAT rule: Enter the details of the DNAT rule
Field Description Original (NAT IP) Select the IP address for external connections Protocol Select the protocol for the connection, which can include TCP, UDP, any, ICMP Translated (private IP) Select the private IP that is attached to the VM Use all ports Mark this checkbox to create a NAT rule for all ports Original port Enter the port for external connections. You cannot use the Original port for the NAT IP in more than one NAT rule. The platform will display the ports that are already used in other rules for the selected NAT IP. Translated port Enter the port on the VM
Create an SNAT rule
To send outgoing traffic through a NAT IP that is not the default one, add an additional SNAT rule with these steps: To create an SNAT rule: Enter the addresses of the SNAT rule Select the IP address for outgoing connections
Field Description Original (private IP) Select the private IP that is attached to the VM Translated (NAT IP)
Use a NAT IP for a load balancer
You can use a NAT IP address as a public IP address for a load balancer. This can be the virtual datacenter's NAT IP address or an additional NAT IP address. See Obtain an additional NAT IP address for a virtual datacenter When you create the load balancer, select the NAT IP. The platform will automatically create a NAT rule to match the port mappings of the routing rule of the load balancer.
