Enable and Configure NAT

Network address translation (NAT) allows sharing a single public IP address among private network computers by mapping their private addresses to the public address. The document provides steps to enable and configure NAT on a server: 1) expand the server name in RRAS MMC, 2) configure NAT properties such as address assignment and interfaces, 3) add public and private network interfaces to the NAT configuration.

Enable and Configure NAT


Applies To: Windows Server 2008 R2

Network address translation (NAT) allows you to share a connection to the public Internet through a single interface with
a single public IP address. The computers on the private network use private, non-routable addresses. NAT maps the
private addresses to the public address.

Membership in the localAdministratorsgroup, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure.

To enable network address translation addressing

1. In the RRAS MMC snap-in, expandYour Server Name. If you are using Server Manager, expandRouting and
Remote Access.

2. ExpandIPv4, right-clickNAT, and then clickProperties.

3. If you do not have a DHCP server on the private network, then you can use the RRAS server to respond to DHCP
address requests. To do this, on theAddress Assignmenttab, select theAutomatically assign IP addresses by
using the DHCP allocatorcheck box.

4. To allocate addresses to clients on the private network by acting as a DHCP server, inIP address and Mask,
configure a subnet address from which the addresses are assigned. For example, if you enter192.168.0.0and a
subnet mask of255.255.255.0, then the RRAS server responds to DHCP requests with address assignments from
192.168.0.1 through 192.168.0.254.

5. (Optional) To exclude addresses in the configured network range from being assigned to DHCP clients on the
private network, clickExclude, clickAdd, and then configure the addresses.

6. To add the public interface to the NAT configuration, right-clickNAT, and then clickNew Interface. Select the
interface connected to the public network, and then clickOK.

7. On theNATtab, clickPublic interface connected to the InternetandEnable NAT on this interface, and then
clickOK.

8. If you want to add additional public addresses assigned to this interface or configure service and port mappings to
computers on the private network, seeIPv4 - NAT - Interface - Properties Page.

9. To add the private interface to the NAT configuration, right-clickNAT, and then clickNew Interface. Select the
interface connected to the private network, and then clickOK.

10. On theNATtab, clickPrivate interface connected to private network, and then clickOK.
