Service settings in a NAT

cloughr — Thu, 04 Aug 2016 13:42:56 GMT

I ran across this setting this morning- when setting up a NAT rule, you can specify a service or service group. Cool, but is there a reason to do that when a policy is necessary to open a service port?

This is for the destination services/port numbers. So you want to apply this NAT sure let's say for the destination service HTTP or HTTPS only then you need to specify it in the service TAB

The service port will mostly come in handy if you have a single external IP address and several internal servers running different services, you can use PAT to direct all connections to the same destination IP but with different destination ports, to all different translated destination servers

This is pretty much like a port forwarding but in PA you do this though the combination of the NAT rules and security policies
