Translation
Network address translation (NAT) lets a Cayman 2E-H conceal the 
topology of an Ethernet network connected to its LAN interface 
from routers on networks connected to its WAN interface.
 When NAT is enabled, the Cayman 2E-H “proxies” for computers on 
your network by pretending to be the originating host for network 
communications from non-originating networks. The Cayman 2E-H 
tracks which local hosts are communicating with which remote 
hosts, and routes packets received from remote networks to the 
correct computer on the LAN (Ethernet A) interface. Sites 
communicating through an Internet service provider typically 
enable NAT, since they often receive one IP address from the ISP.
