IPNAT(8)		    System Manager's Manual		      IPNAT(8)

NAME
       ipnat - user interface to the NAT subsystem

SYNOPSIS
       ipnat [ -dhlnrsvCF ] [ -M core ]	[ -N system ] -f <filename>

DESCRIPTION
       ipnat  opens  the filename given	(treating "-" as stdin)	and parses the
       file for	a set of rules which are to be added or	removed	 from  the  IP
       NAT.

       Each  rule processed by ipnat is	added to the kernels internal lists if
       there are no parsing problems.  Rules are added to the end of  the  in-
       ternal lists, matching the order	in which they appear when given	to ip-
       nat.

       Note  that  if ipf(8) is	not enabled when NAT is	configured, it will be
       enabled automatically, as the same kernel facilities are	used  for  NAT
       functionality.  In addition, packet forwarding must be enabled.

OPTIONS
       -C     delete all entries in the	current	NAT rule listing (NAT rules)

       -d     Enable printing of some extra debugging information.

       -F     delete  all  active entries in the current NAT translation table
	      (currently active	NAT mappings)

       -h     Print number of hits for each MAP/Redirect filter.

       -l     Show the list of current NAT table entry mappings.

       -n     This flag	(no-change) prevents  ipf  from	 actually  making  any
	      ioctl  calls  or	doing anything which would alter the currently
	      running kernel.

       -p     This flag	is used	with the -r flag to cause any active NAT  ses-
	      sions  that were created by the rules being removed and that are
	      currently	active to also be removed.

       -r     Remove matching NAT rules	rather than add	them to	 the  internal
	      lists.

       -s     Retrieve and display NAT statistics.

       -v     Turn  verbose  mode  on.	 Displays information relating to rule
	      processing and active rules/table	entries.

FILES
       /dev/ipnat
       /usr/share/examples/ipfilter  Directory with examples.
