port forwarding doesnt work with PR60X router and M4300-48X switch
I am unable to get the public IP to forward to an internal IP. I've setup port forwarding many times, but I can't get it working on this equipment. I'm using a PR60X router and a M4300-48X switch. ...
FWIW, I tested out this port by installing an Apache web server on my Raspberry Pi. First, I port forwarded port 80 to my RS700 to verify that worked by logging into the IP as seen from the PR60X's side (192.168.1.10). Then I forwarded the same port as shown below:
I am able to access this the Apache test page on both my main IP address and secondary IP address (when failover occurs).
CalebSince it's working out for me, there might be an issue with your router itself, so you might want to do a factory reset. As you mentioned, it might have to do with the M4300-48X switch as well.
I setup a 10G Asus home router and port forward worked immediately when using the netgear switch. The netgear switch was factory reset when I got it, and I also tried plugging the Ethernet directly into the router to bypass the switch. I'm using default http port 80 with default apache. I prefer port 80 for testing, because it doesn't require SSL certs and more likely to work for testing. I also tried using alternate services with different ports with the netgear router and it wouldn't work.
My port forward looks like yours, and they're enabled. The internal IP shows the address, but the WAN public IP will never work with the netgear router. I could factory reset it again, but I'm so busy I'll have to do it another time.
We tested exact same settings without any issues. Please check private message, we would like to work with you to solve this mystery. Thanks.
