Port forwarding to Telnet broadcast

Good morning,

I have a Motorola router model 7357-84 and version 7.8.5r5 at home and I would like to add port forwarding to the broadcast address of my LAN but the router’s graphical interface does not allow me to manually enter a IP for redirection. So I was thinking of going through Telnet to add the redirection except that I don’t know the commands to use.

Thank you for your response but I had already read the subject without finding what I was looking for.

I’ll try to search the commands available in TelNet with help, we’ll see.

So apparently after digging into the telnet of my router I understood that it was simply impossible to redirect to the broadcast.

But I may have found a different solution to do my Wake On Wan.

I created a port 9 redirection on the IP of my PC that I want to start.

I also set my PC’s IP with its MAC address in the arp table.

My PC when it is turned on receives the magic packet but when I turn it off after a moment of waiting it does not work as if the address was not fixed in the arp table.

Your question was already asked a few years ago in the old German-language Swisscom forum.

The problem is that on the one hand the netopia does not allow packets to be retransferred to the broadcast address (255.255.255.255) which should make WOL in theory impossible (So not even for three minutes).

At the same time, other customers say that the connection works like yours for a limited time. Probably the modem’s routing table is cleared after this time and therefore the WOL signal no longer reaches its destination. If so, it’s a firmware issue that will probably never be fixed…

My comment: it seems you have to live with it.

Yes indeed the router empties the ARP cache after 600 seconds but there is a command which allows you to set an entry in the ARP table as static so that it is not deleted, I did that but strangely it did not work yesterday morning I’m going to do the test again now.

But it seems strange to me that it doesn’t work.
