When enabling IPv4 static NAT mode on an interface (LAN2 in our example), the Expressway-E will modify
the payload of H.323 and SIP messages sent out via this interface, so that references to the LAN2 interface
address (10.0.10.2) are replaced with the IPv4 static NAT address configured for this interface (64.100.0.10).
This means that when looking at the payload of SIP and H.323 messages sent out via this interface, it will
appear as if the LAN2 interface has an IP address of 64.100.0.10.

It is important to note that the Expressway-E will not modify the layer 3 source address of outgoing H.323
and SIP packets sent out of this interface, as this will be done by the NAT router.

With this configuration in place, the SIP INVITE shown in Figure 4 will now look as follows as it arrives at
endpoint B:
endpoint B:
Packet header:
Source IP: 64.100.0.10
Destination IP: 64.100.0.20
SIP payload:
INVITE sip: 64.100.0.20 SIP/2.0
