Q: What is Reverse Network Address Translation (RNAT) and how is it different from Network Address Translation (NAT)?
A: RNAT is the same as NAT. RNAT is just the terminology used by NetScaler for the address translation utility. The set ns rnat command can be used to configure the address translation from private to public IP addresses.
Usage example:
set ns rnat ((<network> [<netmask>]) | (<aclname>[-redirectPort <port>])) [-natip <ip_addr> ...]
Value descriptions:
• network: The network or subnet from which the traffic is flowing
• netmask: The netmask of the network
• aclname: The access control list (ACL) name
• redirectPort: The redirect port
• natip: The NAT IP address(es) assigned to a source IP address or NetScaler IP address
Other useful commands:
> show ns rnat
> clear ns rnat
