hi,

I am in need of an explanation of the NAT concept.

I have a single public IP address and I am trying to set up cameras over the internet. Do I open ports per camera (and how) or is the following command sufficient. 

(config)#access-list 1 permit 10.10.0 0.0.0.255

(config)# ip nat inside source list 1 pool  IPCAM  overload

(config)# ip nat pool IPCAM 11.22.33.44 11.22.33.44 netmask 0.0.0.255 

where 11.22.33.44 is my only public address

and 10.10.1.0/24 is the internal network

nat inside interface=10.10.10.1

nat outside interface=11.22.33.44

Thanks!!

Hi ,

 If you are accessing your IP camera locally using port number http:10.10.10.1:8080 or http:10.10.10.1 ,use below command to NAT your IP camera for  Public IP address on 8080

Post Port Nating you access it http:11.22.33.44:8080 or http:11.22.33.44

for 8080

ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.1 8080 11.22.33.44 8080

for 80

ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.1 8080 11.22.33.44 8080

for other port number xx is service port number .

ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.1 XX 11.22.33.44 XX

Hi to add on that,

Check your cameras specifications for it may require more ports to be forwarded
You may be able to view your console, but no video/audio feed might be displayed.
