Dedicated Master AP or Member AP Behind NAT

In the Dedicated mode, a Dedicated Master AP or member AP working behind NAT is supported.

Basic NAT Topologies

You can follow three basic NAT topologies:

  • Member AP behind NAT
  • Dedicated Master AP behind NAT
  • Both Dedicated Master AP and member AP behind NAT

Configuration Requirements for Ports or IP Addresses for NAT Topologies

You must configure the following port mapping for the service to work properly for NAT topologies:

  • Member AP behind NAT: Port configuration is not required.
  • Dedicated Master AP behind NAT:
    • UDP port 12222, 12223, 60000 and TCP port 443 are configured to the private IP address of the Dedicated Master AP in the NAT mapping table.
    • The member AP must connect to the WAN IP address of NAT by Layer 3 (that is, the public IP address in the NAT mapping table of the Dedicated network).
  • Both Dedicated Master AP and Member AP behind NAT:
    • UDP port 12222, 12223, 60000 and TCP port 443 are configured to the private IP address of the Dedicated Master AP in the NAT mapping table.
    • The member AP must connect to the WAN IP address of NAT by Layer 3 (that is, the public IP address in the NAT mapping table of the Dedicated network).
