# Local NAT Traversal

It is assumed, that a [SIP NAP](/configuration-details/configuration-by-web-portal-category/network-access-points-nap.md) or a [SIP Open NAP](/configuration-details/configuration-by-web-portal-category/network-access-points-nap/allocating-a-sip-open-network-access-point-nap.md) has already been created and is allocated.\ <br>

### To configure a Local Symmetric NAT Traversal

1\. Select NAPs in the Navigation Panel:

2\. Select an existing SIP NAP in the list:<br>

3\. Click Network Address Translation (NAT):<br>

4\. We assume that a [local NAT](https://docs.telcobridges.com/wiki/Create_NAT_Traversal_C) has been created and allocated. SBC/Tmedia can be configured for RTP messages traversing a local NAT as follows:<br>

* No NAT: SBC/Tmedia is not behind a NAT for RTP messages.
* Existing \[Local NAT name] item: local NAT name that will be used for the local RTP traversal method.<br>

Select the appropriate method for RTP NAT Traversal.

5\. We assume that a [local NAT](https://docs.telcobridges.com/wiki/Create_NAT_Traversal_C) has been created and allocated. SBC/Tmedia can be configured for SIP messages traversing a local NAT as follows:<br>

* No NAT: SBC/Tmedia is not behind a NAT for SIP messages.
* Existing \[Local NAT name] item: local NAT name that will be used for the local SIP traversal method.<br>

Select the appropriate method for SIP NAT traversal.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://prosbcdocs.telcobridges.com/configuration-details/configuration-by-web-portal-category/ip-network-settings/configuring-nat-traversal/local-nat-traversal.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
