Double NAT With EAGLE One
Prerequisite: The Double NAT feature can only work when the firewall is configured to allow the IP
traffic between the two subnets.
The Double NAT feature is used to establish Ethernet communication between two devices in
different subnets without using Default Gateway entries. The Eagle router will simulate a virtual
device in both subnets and manipulate source and destination addresses in the Ethernet
packets. The addresses of the virtual devices need to be vacant in both subnets. A good way to
avoid duplicate addresses is to use only the addresses .1 to .127 in the internal subnet and the
addresses .128 to .254 in the external subnet.
For each pair of devices, two table entries need to be created. The first entry translates the IP
address of the device in the internal network to a virtual IP address in the external network and
vice versa. The second entry translates the IP address of the device in the external network to
virtual IP address in the internal network and vice versa. Be sure to activate "Invert Direction" for
the second entry!
1. Navigate to the dialog "Network Security -> NAT -> 1:1 NAT"
2. Click button "Create" twice
3. Enter the addresses as explained above. Make sure the checkbox "Active" is tagged for both
entries
4. Click button "Set" to save changes
This step is needed to make sure the configuration isn't lost after a reboot.
