Click on Finish to confirm your configuration. DO note that for an N-to-N bi-map rule, original and translated address ranges, networks or host groups must be of the same size. Bi-directional translation is generally used to allow access to a server from the outside with a public IP address that is not the same as the host’s real address The “bi-map” action supports address ranges. Source and translated addresses are used in the following order: the “smallest” address in the source field is translated to the “smallest” address in the translated field. When a virtual IP address is selected, the corresponding interface will be selected automatically. This interface will be used as the source of the redirection rule and as the destination for rules that rewrite the source. |

NOTE
If you click quickly 10 times on the “Up” button, you will see that the rule moves up but the waiting window will only appear when you leave the button for 2 or 3 seconds. And at the end, only a single command will be executed. Rules can be moved more much fluidly as such.
