IPV4 Firewall Lan to Wan rule blocks internal communication with DVR

Tags: #Gateway ACL

Model: ER605 (TL-R605)

Hardware Version: V2

Firmware Version: 2.0.0 Build 20220106 Rel.56391

I have a surveillance DVR on my LAN. It is managed, and recordings viewed, with software from a PC. Both are on VLAN1 (192.168.1.0/24). Both have fixed ip addresses within that range. As a security measure I want to prevent the DVR from communicating with the internet. Offsite access is not required. I've set up a firewall rule which blocks traffic from the DVR IP, which is source configured as "Cobra_DVR" IP group. See below. The rule direction is LAN->WAN, and WAN IN.

The problem: This rule prevents the software on the PC from communicating with the DVR. If I remove the LAN->WAN direction, leaving only WAN IN, the problem goes away. Since both devices are on the same VLAN, why is this happening? Is there a way to correct it?

Hi @MacFast

Thanks for posting in our business forum.

1. Understand how ACL works and refer to the example in the guide. ER605(UN)_V2_User Guide

Of course you unselect the LAN > LAN and it works. WAN IN means incoming traffic from the WAN. The literal meaning of it.

2. As a supplementary reference to your setup. How to implement unidirectional VLAN access through ACL configuration on the Omada Gateway in Controller mode

You should choose your direction according to your desired way.

3. To address the issue that they are in the same LAN, create an IP group in the Preferences. In the source and destination section, set the IP group you created.
