Configuring Static IP on one interface and NAT it to internal VLAN
Hello!
I am not very much familiar with Netgear managed switchs. What I would like to do is that I want to configure a static IP as an external IP 84.x.x.x on the router on any one interface and create a NAT to one of the internal VLAN. Basically, when I connect a PC to this swtich then it gets IP address like 192.168.1.10 issued from an internal DHCP server but the traffic should go from the external IP 84.x.x.x and received on the same IP NAT internally to IP 192.168.1.10.
I am not sure if this is possible to do this on a managed switch or not. So, please help me on this.
Thanks
Ankit

Hi ankitg,
Welcome to our community!
Your firewall / router should be the one handling the routing from your dhcp server to your external IP. You may try setting up protocol binding in your firewall and not the switch.

Hello!
I actually did not get what I was looking for but it seems that I am looking at wrong product type for the functionality which I want i.e. I realised now that it is only a managed switch and it cannot bind to a static address on any interface and route the traffic between VLAN.
I think I need a router for the functionality I am looking for.
I agree to close this thread.
Thanks for your reponse and help.

Of couse these swiches can act as a L3 routers, routing between different IP subnetworks on the different VLANs. There is "just" no NAT capability - as this has no real usage in business networking on this device class. The addresses are bound to the VLAN, not to ports of course.
