7.2. Network Address Translation (NAT)

A corporate VPN gateway acting in routed mode greatly simplifies network configuration. However, if the corporate VPN gateway is acting in NAT mode, the JON server does not have direct visibility of agents. Port forwarding needs to be configured so that, for each agent, one port on the gateway is forwarded to the JON agent's address or port on the managed machine. The JON agent also needs to be configured to tell the server the forwarded port number and IP address (see rhq.communications.connector.* description in agent-configuration.xml for more information).
