How to troubleshoot Port Forwarding Failure on Omada Gateway
879 Contents
Objective
This document provides a step-by-step guide to troubleshooting issues with Port Forwarding on the Omada gateway.
Requirements
Introduction
Port Forwarding is primarily used to expose ports on the WAN interface, allowing devices from the public network to access devices in the private network via the WAN IP and exposed port. You can set up port forwarding rules on your gateway to forward the packets on specific external ports to specific IP addresses and ports in your private network. For example, if you want to access devices in your private network like home cameras or an FTP server from the WAN side, you need to configure Port Forwarding.
Troubleshooting Steps
Step 1. Check the physical connection of the WAN port. Ensure the cable is secure and that the WAN port indicator is flashing.
Step 2. Verify the connection status of the WAN port in Status > System Status. Make sure that the selected WAN port displays "Link Up."
Step 3. Check the connectivity of the WAN port.
Go to Firewall > Attack Defense and disable Block Ping from WAN. Then, use an external device to ping the WAN port and examine whether it can be reached.
Step 4. Confirm that your rules and access settings are correct.
In the example below, you are attempting to access the internal port (7000) on the internal IP (192.168.0.7) using the external IP and port (6000) on the 2.5G WAN/LAN1 port.
Step 5. Confirm that your internal server is operating correctly.
Access the server directly from a device in the same internal subnet to verify that the server has started properly.
