NAME
natutil -- Query and configure supported Network Address Translation (NAT) devices SYNOPSIS
natutil [-vx] [-a auth] [-n name] {-1 | -d | -m | -s | -i | -L} natutil [-vx] [-a auth] [-n name] {-t | -u} {-T | -U} -p ports DESCRIPTION
natutil uses the ACP protocol to detect, configure, and extract status information from Internet gateway devices (IGDs) (such as AirPort Base Stations) on the local network. Since most IGDs provide Network Address Translation (NAT) service, they are often interchangably referred to as "NAT devices" or simply "NATs". The first synopsis line (with the exception of -L) returns various information from NAT devices. The second invocation modifies settings on the device. After modifying settings, AirPort Base Stations must be rebooted for the changes to take effect. ( servermgrd(8) also reboots the AirPort Base Station when it modifies port mappings.) OPTIONS
The following options / commands are available: -1 Only return data if the IGD found is also our current gateway. [AirPort only] Will only return if this base station can be autocon- figured -a auth [AirPort only] The authentication string to use when communicating with a device protected with a password other than the default "public". Used mostly for scripted operation. Use -i to get the authentication string interactively. -i Get the authentication string interactively. This preferred over -a for security reasons. -d Reports the IGDs (Internet Gateway Devices) that were found during the discovery. -m Retrieves the port mapping table from the NAT. -n name The prefix of the targeted NAT device's name (useful in a LAN with multiple NAT devices). -p ports A comma-separated list of the ports to tap or untap. Must be used with -t or -u. -s Retrieves the WAN & LAN status and configuration from the IGD. -t Configures the NAT to forward the given ports to this machine. Requires -p and either -T or -U. -u Removes the given ports from the NAT's port forwarding rules. Requires -p and either -T or -U. -v Verbose output. Provides progress and status information on standard output. -x XML output. This option provides the most information. -L [AirPort only] Convert existing DHCP lease into a static reservation so the host will receive the same IP address after each reboot. -T Ports will be tapped / untapped for the TCP protocol. Must be used with -t or -u. -U Ports will be tapped / untapped for the UDP protocol. Must be used with -t or -u. SEE ALSO

NAME
nat - stateless native address translation action SYNOPSIS
tc ... action nat DIRECTION OLD NEW DIRECTION := { ingress | egress } OLD := IPV4_ADDR_SPEC NEW := IPV4_ADDR_SPEC IPV4_ADDR_SPEC := { default | any | all | in_addr[/{prefix|netmask}] DESCRIPTION
The nat action allows to perform NAT without the overhead of conntrack, which is desirable if the number of flows or addresses to perform NAT on is large. This action is best used in combination with the u32 filter to allow for efficient lookups of a large number of stateless NAT rules in constant time. OPTIONS
ingress Translate destination addresses, i.e. perform DNAT. egress Translate source addresses, i.e. perform SNAT. OLD Specifies addresses which should be translated. NEW Specifies addresses which OLD should be translated into. NOTES
The accepted address format in OLD and NEW is quite flexible. It may either consist of one of the keywords default, any or all, represent- ing the all-zero IP address or a combination of IP address and netmask or prefix length separated by a slash (/) sign. In any case, the mask (or prefix length) value of OLD is used for NEW as well so that a one-to-one mapping of addresses is assured. Address translation is done using a combination of binary operations. First, the original (source or destination) address is matched against the value of OLD. If the original address fits, the new address is created by taking the leading bits from NEW (defined by the netmask of OLD) and taking the remaining bits from the original address. There is rudimental support for upper layer protocols, namely TCP, UDP and ICMP. While for the first two only checksum recalculation is performed, the action also takes care of embedded IP headers in ICMP packets by translating the respective address therein, too. SEE ALSO
