Gateway IP |
The gateway IP address for the selected network. |
Port Forwarding |
Add a port for port forwarding. With port forwarding, incoming TCP or UDP requests are sent to a specific virtual machine on the virtual network that is served by the NAT device.
-
Host port
-
The number of the incoming TCP or UDP port. For example, incoming HTTP requests are usually on port 80.
-
Virtual machine IP address
-
The IP address of the virtual machine to which you want to forward the incoming requests.
-
Virtual machine port
-
The port number to use for requests on the specified virtual machine. It may be the standard port, such as 80 for HTTP, or a nonstandard port if software running in the virtual machine is configured to accept requests on a nonstandard port.
-
Description
-
(Optional) You can use this text box to identify the forwarded service, for example, HTTP.
To change settings for an existing port, select its name and click Properties. |
Allow active FTP |
Allow only passive mode FTP over the NAT device. |
Allow any Organizationally Unique Identifier |
Select this setting if you change the organizationally unique identifier (OUI) portion of the MAC address for the virtual machine and subsequently cannot use NAT with the virtual machine. |
UDP timeout (in seconds) |
Select the number of minutes to keep the UDP mapping for the NAT. |
Config port |
Select the port to use to access status information about NAT.
Important: Change this value only under the direction of VMware technical support.

IPv6 Prefix |
If IPv6 is enabled, enter the IPv6 prefix that the NAT device uses. |
DNS Settings |

Auto detect available DNS servers

Select this option to detect the available DNS servers. To add a DNS server to the list, deselect this check box and enter the IP address of the preferred and alternate DNS servers in the
Preferred DNS server text boxes.
-
Policy

If you have multiple DNS servers, select the strategy for choosing which server to send a request to.
Order sends one DNS request at a time in order of the name.
Rotate sends one DNS request at a time and rotates through the DNS servers.
Burst sends to three servers and waits for the first server to respond.
-
Timeout (sec)
-
Select the number of seconds to keep trying if the NAT device cannot connect to the DNS server.
