AirRouter User Guide  
Chapter 3: AirOS™  
Firewall entries can be specified by using the following  
criteria:  
The wireless interface and all of the connected wireless  
clients are considered part of the external network  
and all network devices on the LAN side as well as the  
Ethernet interface itself are considered as part of the  
internal network when the AirRouter is operating in  
Station or Station WDS mode.  
Interface The interface (WLAN or LAN) where filtering of  
the incoming/passing-through packets are processed.  
IP Type Sets which particular L3 protocol type (IP, ICMP,  
TCP, UDP) should be filtered.  
Wireless/wired clients are routed from the internal  
network to the external one by default. Network Address  
Translation (NAT) functionality works the same way.  
Source IP/Mask The source IP of the packet (specified  
within the packet header), usually it is the IP of the host  
system which sends the packets.  
Src Port The source port of the TCP/UDP packet (specified  
within the packet header), usually it is the port of the host  
system application which sends the packets.  
Destination IP/Mask The destination IP of the packet  
(specified within the packet header), usually it is the IP of  
the system which the packet is addressed to.  
Dst Port The destination port of the TCP/UDP packet  
(specified within the packet header), usually it is the  
port of the host system application which the packet is  
addressed to.  
Comment Field used to enter a brief description of the  
firewall entry.  
WLAN Network settings  
On Enables or disables the effect of the particular firewall  
entry. All added firewall entries are saved in system  
configuration file, however only the enabled firewall  
entries will be active on the AirRouter.  
IP Address This is the IP address to be represented by  
the WLAN interface which is connected to the internal  
network according to the wireless operation mode  
described above. This IP will be used for the routing of  
the internal network (it will be the Gateway IP for all  
the devices connected on the internal network). This IP  
address can be used to access the management interface  
of the AirRouter.  
Not Can be used for inverting the Source IP/mask, Source  
Port, Destination IP/mask and Destination Port filtering  
criteria (i.e. if not is enabled for the specified Destination  
Port value 443, the filtering criteria will be applied to all  
the packets sent to any Destination Port except the 443  
which is commonly used by HTTPS).  
Netmask This is used to define the device IP classification  
for the chosen IP address range. 255.255.255.0 is a typical  
netmask value for Class C networks, which support IP  
address range 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x. Class C network  
Netmask uses 24 bits to identify the network (alternative  
notation “/24”) and 8 bits to identity the host.  
Click Save to save your firewall entries or click Cancel to  
discard your changes.  
All active firewall entries are stored in the FIREWALL chain  
of the ebtables filter table, while the device is operating  
in Bridge mode. Please refer to the ebtables manual for a  
detailed description of the firewall functionality in Bridge  
mode.  
Enable NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) enables  
packets to be sent from the wired network (LAN) to the  
wireless interface IP address and then sub-routed to other  
client devices residing on the local network while the  
AirRouter is operating in Access Point or Access Point WDS  
mode and in the reverse direction in Station and Station  
WDS mode.  
Click Change to save the changes made in the Network  
tab.  
Router  
The role of the LAN and WLAN interface will change  
depending on the Wireless Mode selected while the  
AirRouter is operating in Router mode:  
Enable NAT Protocol While NAT is enabled, data packets  
could be modified in order to allow pass-through to the  
Router. To avoid packet modification of some specific  
packets, like: SIP, PPTP, FTP, RTSP; uncheck the respective  
checkbox.  
The wireless interface and all connected wireless clients  
are considered as part of the internal LAN and the  
Ethernet interface is dedicated for the connection to  
the external network while the AirRouter is operating in  
Access Point or Access Point WDS mode.  
NAT is implemented using the masquerade type firewall  
rules. NAT firewall entries are stored in the iptables nat  
table, while the device is operating in Router mode. Please  
refer to the iptables tutorial for detailed description of the  
NAT functionality in Router mode.
