ER605 Port Forwarding will not work under Omada Software Controller
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
I have an ER605, along with a few other Omada devices, all handled by a software controller running on an ubuntu server (Controller v5.9.31).
When I set port forwarding rules on my Omada controller, they have no effect. Nothing can get through and my services remain inaccessible.
When it is in standalone mode, the exact same port forwarding rules configured on the router work perfectly.
Adopt the ER605 again, and everything stops working.
The exact same setting tried for multiple ports including (for testing) putting the server in the DMZ, the router will not do it when it has been adopted by the controller, and it all works perfectly when in standalone mode.
Would love any assistance people can offer here. I found a few people having had the same issue in the past but no concrete solution.
I had posted this in the wrong place before, hopefully this helps.
Hi @Tyra
ER605 V1 1.3.0 port forward. V5.9.31 Software Controller.
On another site, I have an ER605 V2. WAN 192.168.2.10, Controller is V5.9.31. I use a computer from this ER605 V2 and access the port forwarding on first site.
Wireshark shows port forwarding works.
Got zipped when I transferred it from the test PC. But still shows the point.
Hi Clive, I appreciate the reply!
As soon as I take the ER605 off the controller, the exact same port forwarding works perfectly when it is configured standalone.
This is 100% repeatable, every single time I get the same result.
I have tried multiple different ports using netcat to listen for input, perfect responses internally and externally when the router is on standalone mode, no external access at all when adopted by the controller. I have tried putting the server temporarily in the DMZ, no results when adopted, perfect results in standalone.Switching the forward from TCP to all also has no effect, and again the forward works as TCP only on standalone mode.
Any further ideas would be hugely appreciated.
Hi @Tyra
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
I tested it locally with my Plex. Nothing wrong with it. Computer hosted that hosts Plex isn't off power. I suggest you check if your Plex is logged in on the computer that hosts the server. And don't close the window of the log-in.
