CIM_NATListBasedSettings Superclass: CIM_NATSettingData
NATListBasedSettings extends the general NATSettingData class to describe that the address translation is dynamically chosen from a list, and translated using a pool of possible addresses. A parameter indicates whether the addresses (translated to) can be reused (aka, overloaded). This is also referred to as PAT - port address translation, since the overloading relies on TCP and UDP port values to disambiguate connections.

Via a mandatory association to a FilterList, the addresses to be translated are described. Via another mandatory association, TranslationPoolForNAT, the information regarding the resulting/translated addresses are defined.

Parameters (local in grey)
ModelCorrespondence { "CIM_NATSettingData.IsInside" }
boolean OverloadingPermitted ;
Indicates whether the address(es) that are translated to (the global, external addresses), may be used by more than one local address needing translation. The translation MUST be defined as 'inside' (IsInside= TRUE) for this property to be valid.
boolean IsInside ;
Indicates whether the translation is of internal addresses for external visibility (TRUE) or external addresses for internal use (FALSE).
Values { "Source" , "Destination" , "Both Source and Destination" }
ValueMap { "2" , "3" , "4" }
uint16 AddressExamined ;
Indicates whether the addresses to be translated are based on examining source addressing (2), destination addressing (3) or both (4). The latter is referred to as 'Policy NAT'.
Required
Override ( "ElementName" )
string ElementName ;
The user-friendly name for this instance of SettingData. In addition, the user-friendly name can be used as an index property for a search or query. (Note: The name does not have to be unique within a namespace.)
Key
string InstanceID ;
Within the scope of the instantiating Namespace, InstanceID opaquely and uniquely identifies an instance of this class. To ensure uniqueness within the NameSpace, the value of InstanceID should be constructed using the following 'preferred' algorithm:
<OrgID>:<LocalID>
Where <OrgID> and <LocalID> are separated by a colon (:), and where <OrgID> must include a copyrighted, trademarked, or otherwise unique name that is owned by the business entity that is creating or defining the InstanceID or that is a registered ID assigned to the business entity by a recognized global authority. (This requirement is similar to the <Schema Name>_<Class Name> structure of Schema class names.) In addition, to ensure uniqueness, <OrgID> must not contain a colon (:). When using this algorithm, the first colon to appear in InstanceID must appear between <OrgID> and <LocalID>.
<LocalID> is chosen by the business entity and should not be reused to identify different underlying (real-world) elements. If the above 'preferred' algorithm is not used, the defining entity must assure that the resulting InstanceID is not reused across any InstanceIDs produced by this or other providers for the NameSpace of this instance.
For DMTF-defined instances, the 'preferred' algorithm must be used with the <OrgID> set to CIM.
MaxLen ( 64 )
string Caption ;
The Caption property is a short textual description (one- line string) of the object.
string Description ;
The Description property provides a textual description of the object.
