Automatic Outbound NAT

[awptechnologies]

Is it normal that automatic outbound nat rule is not created for a gateway that i configure with a static ip?

I use a hotspot for backup wan and when setting it up with a static ip and static gateway address the automatic nat rules are not created.

As soon as i switch back to dhcp on the interface with a dynamic address on the gateway the outbound nat rules are automatically created.

Is this normal operation?

Outbound NAT rules are only created on interfaces, which have a gateway stated.

With DHCP this is set automatically. If you configure a static IP you also have to state the gateway below.

What do you mean state the gateway below? Below where?

[viragomann]

In the interface settings, below the static IP.
