# NAT Gateway Mode SSID

Creating a NAT Gateway is easily done via association to an interface having a role of "downstream".

Based on the above Dual SSID NAT configuration, a unique 2GHz and 5GHz SSID are created and logically bound to the same NAT LAN side network.

The NAT service is inherited by the downstream role with DHCP addressing defined according to the range set within the downstream "ipv4" configuration.

# Agent Instructions: 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:

```
GET https://tip-1.gitbook.io/openwifi/2.6.0/device-feature-configuration-examples/basic-device-provisioning/nat-gateway-mode-ssid.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
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.
