<title>Configuring Aliasing of the NAT Engine</title>
<body>
<p>By default, the NAT core uses aliasing and uses random ports when generating an alias for a connection. This
works well for the most protocols like SSH, FTP and so on. Though some protocols might need a more transparent
behavior or may depend on the real port number the packet was sent from. You can change the NAT mode by using the
following commands: </p>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage modifyvm <varname>VM-name</varname> \
--nataliasmode1 proxyonly</pre>
<pre xml:space="preserve">$ VBoxManage modifyvm "Linux Guest" --nataliasmode1 sameports</pre>
<p>The first example disables aliasing and switches NAT into transparent mode, the second example enforces
preserving of port values. These modes can be combined if necessary. </p>
