|

|
---|
| 109 | <para>
|
---|
| 110 | NAT networks use the Network Address Translation (NAT) service.
|
---|
| 111 | The service groups systems into a network and prevents external
|
---|
| 112 | systems from directly accessing the systems in the network. The
|
---|
| 113 | service also enables the systems in the network to communicate
|
---|
| 114 | with each other and with external systems by means of TCP and UDP
|
---|
| 115 | over IPv4 and IPv6.
|
---|
| 116 | </para>
|
---|
| 117 | <para>
|
---|
| 118 | A NAT service is attached to an internal network. For a VM to use
|
---|
| 119 | the NAT service, you must attach the VM to the internal network.
|
---|
| 120 | Specify the name of the internal network when you create the NAT
|
---|
| 121 | service. Note that the internal network is created if it does not
|
---|
| 122 | already exist.
