Option to link a NAT to a firewall rule is missing.

Hi,

There is no need to link a NAT with a firewall rule. You have to create a new firewall (WAN to LAN) and select Services as "pre-translated". It will work.  "Link a NAT rule" is only possible with Source NAT.

Can you share the screenshot?

Thanks

Hi,

Here is a screenshot:

Done. How can the NAT i created before can be linked to this firewall rule?

Is it automatical?

Linking a Firewall Rule to a NAT Rule would be some sort of "Automatic Firewall rule", which is not in the product right now. 

So to speak, You can only use SNAT Linked NAT. 

You need to create a separate Firewall Rule for DNAT right now (and other NATs). 

As far as i know, there are plans to implement the automatic firewall rule for NAT. 

The other guys should be respond to you, if i miss something. 

Is there any advantage beside time saving, of doing linked NAT rules from the firewall rule vs creating both rules separately?

Hi,

As I am getting, The agenda behind this process to give more control and flexibility to the Admin same like CISCO.

There are not. 

As mentioned in other threads, there could be a ton of Linked nat rules in field installations. So to speak, personally speaking, i would recommend to use a default SNAT instead of X linked NAT rules.
