Configuring the Manager by Using NAT

You can configure the Manager to work with a NAT device between the Manager and the Engines or Drivers. If the untranslated site of the network has no Engines, you can configure to work with a NAT device by specifying the external (translated) address of the NAT device when referring to the Manager address in the Manager URL field during Manager installation, in Driver installation, and in Windows and Linux Engine installation.

If clients (Engines and Drivers) exist on both sides of a NAT device, you can configure NAT Translation on the Manager. This enables the URLs used for Manager-to-client communication.

Configure NAT Translation in the GridServer Administration Tool

1.

Go to Admin > System Admin > Manager Configuration > Communication.

2.

Find the NAT Translation heading. The first field, NAT Translation Range, specifies the range of IP addresses within the NAT untranslated network to be translated.

3.

In the NAT URL field, type the external URL to use for the Manager on the translated side of the network. If you want the NAT URL used for clients inside the NAT Translation range, set Translate Inside Range (True/False) to True; to use NAT translation for clients outside the NAT Range, set this to Outside.
