ER605 working on Network Bridge, but only ICMP works
Hello Everyone,
i´m a bit confused and would very much appreciate if anybody could help me.
I used a ER605 to connect to different IP-Networks on a client's office. Network "Alpha" works with IP 217.x.x.x and Network "Beta" operates with 192.x.x.x IPv4 addresses.
I assigned WAN on ER605 to Network BETA and activate WAN1/LAN and assigned it to Network Alpha. Then it did the static IP routing by Tansmission->Routing, and I could ping every client on Alpha and Beta as well.
But none of the other protocols would work. No HTTP´s requests, no SMB or Prnting Services could connect to each other.
My prime suspect were the firewall settings on the ER605 and I set up some ALLOW rules, but nothing would work.
Thank you for your help; I appreciate every clue!
best regards
Daniel
Dear Clive_A,
thank you for answering again. I regret that you couldn't give some Example for WAN-to-WAN configuration without Firewall or Filtering, Meanwhile, I think it is not possible within the ER605 Firmware.
Because of these circumstances, I set up an alternative Solution that I want to share to anybody else looking for this Network Structure in the future:
I used a simple, less elegant, method with VLAN Routing.
First, I added two additional Networks to the ER605 based on the IP Networks that where preexisted in the Client's Office. (Network->LAN in the Menu)
After that, I set the VLAN ID to 20 for Network Alpha and 30 for Network Beta. (Network-VLAN)
Afterward, I set for Alpha and Beta a different Ethernet Port with "UNTAG" and finally, I set up PVID´s like this for the ports.
In my case, it was necessary to configure the gateway IPs on some of the Network Clients to the ER605 IP’s I defined in step one.
This and some other lower-level "Network Magic" finally works after a Reboot.
I hope I can spare another IT-Guy in the future some time with this solution.

Dear Clive,
Thank you for your Quick and competently reply. I never thought that Port Forwarding was located on a Menu Item called "Virtuel Server".
However, I think you’re Right, but even with the Guides you linked to me and some others from a quick Google search, I couldn't configure a proper Connection.
For a complete open, Exposed, Host, I tried a DMZ configuration like this by "NAT-DMZ":
But it didn't work.
After that, I set a wide Port Range under Virtual Server for the same Host like this:
Even this wouldn't work, and the Web interface on the ER 605 crashed. According to a another post on this forum, maybe the Port Range is too big to Operate for the Firmware.
I would really Appreciate if you can show me an Example to set all Ports Free between the Hosts on the Alpha and Beta Networks (WAN to WAN1/LAN and back).
I would apply them if i reseted the ER605 to regain access to the Web interface, tomorrow.
Thank you for your patience.
