Hello
I have 5 public IP’s on WAN 1
I have a separate isolated VLAN running DHCP created and assigned to LAN port 2
I have an NVR on LAN port 2 with a local DHCP IP reservation for its WAN MAC
Can I assign one of the public IP’s to LAN port 2 so that all traffic in and out is on that specific public IP? I will also do some specific port forwards for remote viewing on the camera app
Thanks and Happy New Year
Hi James,
Yes, by using NAT Mapping. Just you will assign WAN IP not to a LAN port but to specific LAN/VLAN IP Network. As example VLAN subnet is mapped to WAN second IP address:
For the Port forwarding it is the same. Select specific Inbound IP address for the forwarding rules:
@Saulius_Saltmeris thank you for the reply
Because this is new to me I have a few additional questions
If I do a 1:1 NAT MAPPING to the specific LAN/VLAN am I correct that all traffic from the NVR will be sent out the selected WAN IP and all outside traffic to that IP will go to the NVR?
With the 1:1 NAT MAPPING am I correct that I will still need port forwarding to actually reach the NVR from outside?
If I do a NAT MAPPING to the whole subnet am I correct that all traffic from any device behind that specific LAN/VLAN will be sent out the selected WAN IP and all outside traffic will reach the devices as long as I have the correct port forwards to the device LAN IP’s?
