Web: Example for Configuring Destination NAT for Internet Users to Access Intranet Servers (One-to-one Mappings Between Public and Private IP Addresses)

This section provides an example for configuring destination NAT for Internet users to access intranet servers.

Networking Requirements

An enterprise has deployed a FW as a security gateway on the intranet border. Destination NAT is configured on the FW for the intranet web and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers to provide services for Internet users. The enterprise is allocated a public address 1.1.10.10 by an Internet service provider (ISP). In addition to the IP addresses of Internet interfaces, the enterprise applies for public IP addresses (1.1.10.10 and 1.1.10.11) for the intranet server to provide services. Figure 1 illustrates the static mapping networking. The router is an access gateway on the ISP network.

Data Planning

Item		Data	Description
GigabitEthernet 0/0/1		IP address: 1.1.1.1/24 Security zone: Untrust	1.1.1.1/24 is a public address provided by the ISP.
GigabitEthernet 0/0/2		IP address: 10.2.0.1/24 Security zone: DMZ	Intranet servers use 10.2.0.1 as the default gateway address.
Destination NAT		Destination address pool: 10.2.0.7 to 10.2.0.8	When an Internet user accesses an intranet server, the FW that has the destination NAT function enabled can send traffic to the intranet server. Public and destination addresses are in one-to-one mapping in sequence. The FW translates destination address 1.1.10.10 to 10.2.0.7, and the FW translates destination address 1.1.10.11 to 10.2.0.8.
Routing information	Default route	Destination address: 0.0.0.0 Next hop address: 1.1.1.254	Configure a default route defined for the ISP router on the FW to direct intranet traffic to the router.

Configuration Roadmap

The configuration roadmap is as follows:

Assign IP addresses to interfaces, add the interfaces to security zones, and configure network connectivity.
Configure a security policy for traffic between Internet users and intranet servers.
Configure the destination NAT function so that when an Internet user accesses an intranet server, the FW can send traffic to the intranet server.
Configure a default route on the FW to direct intranet traffic to the ISP router.
Configure a blackhole route on the FW to prevent routing loops between the FW and router.
Configure static routes destined for public addresses of intranet servers on the router.

Procedure

Set IP addresses for interfaces on the FW and assign the interfaces to security zones.
1. Set the IP address of GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and assign the interface to a security zone.
  1. Choose Network > Interface.
  2. In Interface List, click of GigabitEthernet 0/0/1 and set the parameters as follows:
    
    Zone
    
    untrust
    
    IPv4
    
    IP Address
    
    1.1.1.1/24
  3. Click OK.
2. Set the IP address of GigabitEthernet 0/0/2 and assign the interface to a security zone.
  1. In Interface List, click of GigabitEthernet 0/0/2 and set the parameters as follows:
    
    Zone
    
    dmz
    
    IPv4
    
    IP Address
    
    10.2.0.1/24
  2. Click OK.
Configure a security policy for traffic between Internet users and intranet servers.
1. Choose Policy > Security Policy > Security Policy.
2. In Security Policy List, click Add, select Add Security Policy, and configure a security policy based on the following parameter values.
  
  Name
  
  policy1
  
  Source Zone
  
  untrust
  
  Destination Zone
  
  dmz
  
  Destination Address/Region
  
  10.2.0.0/24
  
  Action
  
  Permit
3. Click OK.
Configure NAT address pools and NAT policies.
1. Choose Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy > Destination Translation Address Pool.
2. In Destination Translation Address Pool List, click Add and configure a NAT address pool based on the following parameters.
3. Click OK.
4. Choose Policy > NAT Policy > NAT Policy.
5. In NAT Policy List, click Add and configure a NAT policy based on the following parameters.
6. Click OK.
Configure a black-hole route on the FW, so that traffic from intranet servers can be forwarded to the ISP router.
1. Choose Network > Route > Static Route.
2. In Static Route List, click Add and configure a black-hole route based on the following parameter values.
  
  Protocol
  
  IPv4
  
  Destination Address/Mask
  
  1.1.10.10/255.255.255.0
  
  Next Hop
  
  NULL0
3. Repeat the preceding steps to configure the black-hole route as follows.
  
  Protocol
  
  IPv4
  
  Destination Address/Mask
  
  1.1.10.11/255.255.255.0
  
  Next Hop
  
  NULL0
4. Click OK.
Enable NAT ALG for FTP.
1. Choose Policy > ASPF Configuration.
2. Select FTP.
Configure a default route on the FW, so that traffic from intranet servers can be forwarded to the ISP router.
1. Choose Network > Route > Static Route.
2. In Static Route List, click Add and configure a default route based on the following parameter values.
  
  Protocol
  
  IPv4
  
  Destination Address/Mask
  
  0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0
  
  Next Hop
  
  1.1.1.254
3. Click OK.
Configure a static route to public address (1.1.10.10 and 1.1.10.11) with the next hop being 1.1.1.1 on the router so that traffic destined for the server can be sent to the FW.
Contact your ISP administrator to perform this step.
