Adding a DNAT Rule

Updated on 2025-02-08 GMT+08:00

Scenarios

After a public NAT gateway is created, add DNAT rules to allow servers in your VPC to provide services accessible from the Internet.

Only one DNAT rule can be configured for each port on a server. One port can be mapped to only one EIP. If multiple servers need to provide services accessible from the Internet, create multiple DNAT rules.

Restrictions and Limitations

  • Only one DNAT rule can be configured for each port on a server. One port can be mapped to only one EIP.
  • A maximum of 200 DNAT rules can be added on a public NAT gateway.

Procedure

  1. Go to the public NAT gateway list page.
  2. On the displayed page, click the name of the public NAT gateway on which you need to add a DNAT rule.
  3. On the public NAT gateway details page, click the DNAT Rules tab.
  4. Click Add DNAT Rule.
    Figure 1 Add DNAT Rule
  5. Configure required parameters. For details, see Table 1.
    Table 1 Descriptions of DNAT rule parameters

    Parameter

    Description

    Scenario

    Select VPC if your servers in a VPC will use the DNAT rule to share the same EIP to provide services accessible from the Internet.

    Direct Connect/Cloud Connect: Select this scenario if your on-premises servers or servers in another VPC will use the DNAT rule to provide services accessible from the Internet.

    Port Type

    The port type

    • All ports: All requests received by the gateway through all ports over any protocol will be forwarded to the private IP address of your server.
    • Specific port: Only requests received from a specified port over a specified protocol will be forwarded to the specified port on the server.

    Protocol

    The protocol can be TCP or UDP.

    This parameter is available if you select Specific port for Port Type. If you select All ports, the value of this parameter is All by default.

    Public IP Address Type

    The type of the public IP address used for accessing the Internet

    EIP: You can select an EIP that has not been bound to any resource or has been bound to a DNAT rule in the current VPC.

    Global EIP: You can select an unused global EIP or a global EIP that is in use by a DNAT rule of the current NAT gateway.

    Public Port

    The port of the EIP used by the NAT gateway for external communications

    This parameter is only available if you select Specific port for Port Type. Range: 1 to 65535

    You can enter a specific port number or a port range, for example, 80 or 80-100.

    Instance Type

    The type of the instance that will be providing services accessible from the Internet. Possible values are:

    • Server
    • Virtual IP address
    • Custom

    NIC

    The NIC of the server. This parameter is available if you set Instance Type to Server.

    Private IP Address

    • In a VPC scenario, this parameter can only be set to the private IP address of a server in the NAT gateway's VPC. The server will provide services accessible from the Internet through DNAT.
    • In a Direct Connect/Cloud Connect scenario, set this parameter to IP address of the server in your on-premises data center or your private IP address. This IP address is used by on-premises servers that are connected to a VPC through Direct Connect or servers in another VPC to provide services accessible from the Internet through DNAT.
    • Configure the port of Private IP Address if you select Specific port for Port Type.

    Private Port

    The port of the server over which the originating requests will be forwarded

    This parameter is only available if you select Specific port for Port Type.

    Range: 1 to 65535

    You can enter a specific port number or a port range, for example, 80 or 80-100.

    Description

    Provides supplementary information about the DNAT rule. Enter up to 255 characters. Angle brackets (<>) are not allowed.

  6. Click OK.

    Once the rule is created, its status changes to Running.

NOTICE:

After you add a DNAT rule, add rules to the security group associated with the servers to allow inbound or outbound traffic. Otherwise, the DNAT rule does not take effect.
