[HELP] How to enable forwarding for wireless network?
« on: April 26, 2019, 09:59:26 pm »
hello, greetings to the zentyal team.
I have zentyal 6.0 with an ethernet adapter and a TP-LINK wireless adapter model TL-WDN4800.
My zentyal server only works as an active domain controller directory.

From the ethernet adapter called as interface eth2 with the IP address 192.168.1.2 mask 255.255.255.0
get internet through this adapter through the 192.168.1.1 gateway which is a commercial UTM firewall.

The wireless adapter called as interface wlan0 with the IP address 192.168.137.1 mask 255.255.255.0.

/etc/network/interfaces
Code: [Select]
administrator@servidor:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces
allow-hotplug lo eth2 wlan0

iface lo inet loopback

iface eth2 inet static
      address 192.168.1.2
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      broadcast 192.168.1.255
      offload-gro off
      offload-gso off
      offload-tso off

iface wlan0 inet static
      address 192.168.137.1
      netmask 255.255.255.0
      broadcast 192.168.137.255
      offload-gro off
      offload-gso off
      offload-tso off

The DHCP server delivers IP addresses to the 192.168.137.1 interface with a range of 192.168.137.100 to 192.168.137.254 with DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf
Code: [Select]
shared-network wlan0 {

    subnet 192.168.137.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {

        option routers 192.168.137.1;
        option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
        option ntp-servers 192.168.137.1;
        default-lease-time 1800;
        max-lease-time 7200;


        pool {



            next-server 192.168.137.1;

            range 192.168.137.100 192.168.137.254;
        }
    }

    group {
        option routers 192.168.137.1;
        option domain-name-servers 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4;
        option ntp-servers 192.168.137.1;
        default-lease-time 1800;
        max-lease-time 7200;


    }

}

I have hostapd installed and I already made my test configuration, which mobile devices connect but does not have internet.

According to the guide I am reading, I must edit the configuration file: /etc/sysctl.conf
change: net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1
save.
add the configuration to the firewall.
sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -s 192.168.137.0/24 -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE

The problem is that this configuration is temporary, because zentyal when restarting does not save the change.
How can I enable Internet connection to wireless devices permanently?

Hello, can someone help me interpret, how to add these rules to the zentyal firewall from the web GUI?

Code: [Select]
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth2 -j MASQUERADE
iptables -A FORWARD -i eth2 -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
iptables -A FORWARD -i wlan0 -o eth2 -j ACCEPT
