Port Forwards:

Port forwarding is a feature in a router or gateway that allows external devices to access services on a private network.

It maps an external port on the router to an internal IP address and port on the local network, enabling applications such as gaming servers, web servers, or remote desktop connections to be accessed from outside the network.

This helps in directing incoming traffic to the correct device within a local network based on the port number, enhancing connectivity and accessibility.

ARP Table: Maps IP addresses to MAC addresses for devices on the network, helping in identifying which device is on which interface.

IPv4 Routes: This shows which network is directly connected on which interface.

Example: Network 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected on interface eth0.1.

IPv6 Routes: Similar routes as IPv4, but this time listed under IPv6 routing rules.

This module includes 7 features.

  • Mac Address Binding
  • URL Filtering
  • Web Server
  • Wi-Fi MacID Filtering
  • Routing
  • Others

5.1 Mac Address Binding

MAC address binding is a configuration that binds a specific MAC address to a specific IP address. This ensures that a particular device on the network always receives the same IP address from the DHCP server, which can be useful for network management, security, and ensuring consistent network behaviour.

Under this submodule the user can configure/update/edit the IP Address for MAC.

You can edit the pre-existing configuration, or you can ‘Add’ in the ‘New MAC ADDRESS’ field.

EDIT:

Specification details are given below:

SN Field Name Sample Value Description
1 Device Name Macbinding1 A user-defined name for the binding configuration.
2 MAC Address 48:9e:bd:da:45:91 The unique identifier for the network interface of the device to which the IP address will be bound.
3 IP Address 192.168.10.55 The IP address that will be consistently assigned to the device with the specified MAC address.

By applying this configuration, the DHCP server will always assign the IP address 192.168.10.55 to the device with the MAC address 48:9e:bd:da:45:91, ensuring consistency and stability in network addressing for that device.

  • Once the user modifies the MAC address /IP Address then click on the save button to save the changes done.
  • The user can click on the deleted button to delete an existing configured device.

Post all the changes the user needs to click on the update to reflect all the changes in the application.

5.2 URL Filtering

In this submodule the user should provide the URL which needs to be blocked for the device. By implementing URL filtering with the specified URL, you can control and restrict access to certain websites, thereby improving network security and managing user access.

To add the new URL for blocking, click on the Add New button.

Once the user clicks on the Add New button a new pop will appear in that page write the URL and click on the save.

The user can select the status of that URL while defining the URL.

To edit / delete the existing URL the user needs to click on the edit /deleted button respectively.

Click on “save” after the changes are done as per the need.

Port 443 is the default port for HTTPS traffic. It is used to serve web pages over an encrypted connection.
3 Redirect HTTPS Option to redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS. When enabled, all HTTP requests will be automatically redirected to the HTTPS port to ensure secure communication.
4 Enable NTP Sync Enable or disable NTP synchronization. Synchronizes the device’s system clock with an external NTP server to maintain accurate time.
5 NTP Server 0.openwrt.pool.ntp.org The address of the NTP server used for time synchronization. The openwrt.pool.ntp.org server is a public NTP server pool.

Click on save once changes are made.

5.4 Wi-Fi MacID Filtering

Wireless MAC ID Filtering allows you to control which devices can connect to your wireless network based on their MAC (Media Access Control) addresses. This can help enhance security by allowing only specified devices to access the network.

It is further divided into 2 categories,

WIFI 2.4G AP

WIFI 2.4G AP Guest


Before adding the MacIDs the user needs to select the mode from the dropdown menu.

In ‘Change Mode’ select one option,

Blacklist

In blacklist mode, you specify which MAC addresses are not allowed to connect to the wireless network. Devices not on the blacklist will be able to connect.

Whitelist

In whitelist mode, you specify which MAC addresses are allowed to connect to the wireless network. Devices not on the whitelist will be blocked.

To Add the MacID the user needs to click on Add New option.

Specification details are given below:

SN Field Name Sample Value Description

SN Field Name Sample Value Description
1 Interface Ex: ra0 The network interface through which the traffic will be routed. Select as per requirement.
2 To Ex: 192.168.10.1 This is the target address to which the traffic is being directed. In this case, all traffic destined for 192.168.10.1 will follow this route.
3 IPv4 Netmask 255.255.255.192 This defines the subnet of the destination address.
4 Table 1.) Local

2.) Main

3.) Default

4.) 220

5.) custom

1.) This table contains local routes for the addresses assigned to the local interfaces. It's typically used for host and broadcast addresses.

2.) The primary routing table used by the system.

3.) A fallback table used when no other table is specified.

4.) Often used for policy-based routing.

5.) A user-defined routing table.

5 From Ex: 192.168.100.1 This source address restricts the route to traffic originating from 192.168.100.1. Traffic from other sources won't use this route.
6 Priority 20 The priority value determines the preference of this route. A lower number means higher priority; 20 is relatively high, so this route will be preferred over routes with higher priority values.
