By default all broadcast traffic on the wireless interface is dropped, regardless of the wl-route-
default
setting. To forward broadcast messages from the wireless to the Ethernet interface it is
necessary to establish a broadcast forwarding rule with the required port number.
Here are some examples of rules:
wl-route tcp port 1423 forward 192.168.2.100:80
This will cause traffic sent to
the device server on port 1423
to be forwarded to IP address
192.168.2.100 on port 80.
wl-route tcp port 1424 forward 192.168.2.100:23
This will cause traffic sent to
the device server on port 1423
to be forwarded to IP address
192.168.2.100 on port 23.
The two rules above will forward http and telnet connections to the device holding the 192.168.2.100
IP address on the private (wired) network. Any device wanting to communicate to the service on the
device would access them by using the public (wireless) IP address of the device server along with
either port 1423 or 1424.
It is recommended that if port forwarding is to be used, all Ethernet devices on the private (wired)
network use static IP addresses.
Entering the command with no parameters will display a list of the current port forwarding rules in the
order they will be applied to incoming traffic.
wl-route-default
Command
wl-route-default
Arguments
[forward | drop]
Security
Level
3 (config)
Device Type
Ethernet
Default
[forward]
Description
Sets the default rule for incoming Wireless traffic. Allowing or denying access to the private (wired)
network from the public (wireless) network. Through the rules established by this and the wl-route
command, allowing access to the private network resources can be closely managed.
forward
All wireless traffic meant for the private (wired) network to be
forwarded to the IP address defined by the eth-ip setting.
drop
Blocks all wireless traffic meant for the private (wired) network.
If the wl-route-default is set to drop and no additional rules (using wl-route) are added no
traffic will be forwarded from the wireless to wired networks.
If the wl-route-default is set to forward and no additional rules are added, using the wl-route
command, all wireless traffic will be forwarded to the IP address defined by the eth-ip setting. This
will restrict access to a single IP address on the wired network.
