How are you suppose to NAT with snow leopard server mini with only 1 ethernet port?

How are you suppose to NAT with snow leopard server mini with only 1 ethernet port?

  • You can use NAT with Ethernet and AirPort.

    Tom O'Connor : Ugh. Servers on WiFi.. That's just destined to fail.
  • Set up 2 or more VLANs on the ethernet port.
    Use a managed switch to break these VLANs out onto physical ports. That way, you could have non-nat traffic on VLAN 2, and natted private RFC1918 traffic on VLAN 3, all shared on the same physical ethernet port.

    Gotta love 802.11q...

  • Use NAT to bridge the ethernet access to a FireWire LAN. I've done it ;). Performance isn't great, but you can blame the IPoFW implementation for that.

  • Or pick up a USB->Ethernet adapter.
