Assume that we have received a block of IPv6 addresses from our ISP, and we want to map a set of local IPv6 addresses to this block. Our internal IPv6 subnet is fd30::/48. We can do the mapping with NPt:
- Navigate to Firewall | NAT, and from there, click on the NPt tab. On the NPt page, click on one of the Add buttons.
- On the NPt edit page, set the first Address to the local IPv6 prefix, which in this case is fd30::/48. You must enter both the prefix and the CIDR.
- Set the second Address to the IPv6 public subnet, which is the contiguous block of addresses assigned by your ISP.
- Click on the Save button when done, and on the NPt page, click on Apply Changes.
The mapping is complete, and it should function similarly to a 1:1 NAT mapping.
