I’m not an expert on networking. Here’s my current setup:
I have two routers, one of which serves as a network box for Google Fiber. I have an ethernet cable running from the first router’s LAN port to LAN0 on the Turris Omnia. I have disabled DHCP on the Omnia and assigned a static IP.
I’m trying to do an auto update but the updater is not finding an internet connection because it currently expects it to be coming via the WAN port. I tried bridging the WAN interface with LAN (eth1). WAN is currently set to DHCP.
Here are some screenshots:
Physical Settings for WAN:
I would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction here.
Why aren’t you using the WAN port? Any specific reason? I have a similar box from my ISP and I just cascaded the router plugging the WAN port and connecting it to the ISP device.
If I use the WAN port, I ended up having issues with devices on the secondary router accessing devices connected to the primary router and vice versa since I had to give the router a static IP outside of the primary router’s DHCP range in order to still access and configure it.
I am using the Turris to extend the range of my network so I would prefer the ability to seamlessly access all devices on the network. Is there a way to do this while still using the WAN port?
Theoretically i THINK there might be a way, but i am not sure if it might be possible. To give the Omnia a “gateway”. OR another solution use 2 cables. 1 to use as WAN and 1 to use as network Both connected to your primary router.
He can use his Omnia as a switch, but it will send data collection (if he wants it), but it won’t say data from honeypot (because it’s not primary/first device on the internet)
That is the issue. Normally i would agree with you. But auto-updater searches for “WAN-zone”, which off course in situation with Omnia setting up as a switch will not work.
So to be able to use auto-updater and as well to be able to contact devices which are connected to the Omnia, use…two cables.
Cable 1 - for auto-updater: Omina (WAN) --> Primary router
Cable 2 - for devices to connect to other devices: Omnia (LAN) --> Primary router.
@geo_lee, Use that solution for now, but i THINK that there MUST be a solution with just 1 cable ON the WAN. I’ll let you know if i stumbled upon something.
EDIT2: What about (LuCi) Network --> Firewall
Everything FROM WAN to LAN is being rejected. (Firewall). So logically speaking, if you disable this or just accept everything…then i guess things should workout the way they should right? You have not forwarded anything from your Primary router to your Omnia, so would that be oke?
If anybody knows what i do not please do correct me.
When you on your LuCi–>Network–>Interfaces—>WAN (edit)–>Click on “Protocol” in the “general setup”. All the way down you see “Relay bridge”. Can you experiment with this a bit?
BTW: Don have LAN in your WAN zone(Purple). You have LAN in your WAN zone.
In your WAN zone should ONLY be having “wanX” in there.
Both connected to your primary router.
