Destination Network Address Translation (NAT) can map a public address and port to a private server address and port.

Answer

true

Explanation

### Why this is right Destination NAT changes the destination address, and often the destination port, so an external connection can be forwarded to an internal server. The material describes this as port forwarding. ### The concept Source NAT changes where traffic appears to come from. Destination NAT changes where traffic is directed. A firewall policy is still needed to permit the traffic; translation alone does not authorize a connection. ### The other options - **False**: this would confuse destination translation with source translation, which changes the source address instead. ### Terms - **NAT**: Network Address Translation. A method of changing network addresses. - **Port forwarding**: Mapping an external address and port to an internal address and port. ### Remember Destination NAT redirects the destination; it does not grant permission by itself.
