Hello,
Thank you once again for your advice.
How exactly did you try to add the firewall rule?
I am a new user, and being unaware of the UCI syntax, I tried to enter the rule you mentioned directly on the command line, but it seems this is not the right way. I did not have much time to further investigate this, but following a quick search, my understanding is, the above forwarding rule could be entered as follows in UCI syntax:
uci add firewall forwarding
uci set firewall.@forwarding[1].dest=IOT
uci set firewall.@forwarding[1].src=lan
Regarding the text editors, I have some experience with nano, but I will need to check out "how-to" pages and other guides. This is an interesting topic in itself.
Or, you can make it as granular/specific as you want (you could allow one or more specific hosts on IOT to connect to lan,
Ok, knowing that it is feasible, I will continue my study and further experiment with these rules for my own learning purposes.
Because the initial question is answered, I assume it would be 'ok' to mark the topic as resolved as per this post. I will create a new topic if there are further questions on the current set up.
Thank you once again for your help.
