Verizon LTE Network Extender configuration in Firewall Rules
-
Where can I find a guide on how to set up firewall rules for my Verizon LTE Network Extender?
It shows that I am connected, yet it is still not working.
Verizon website says:
Make sure the following ports are enabled:
123 UDP
4500 UDP
500 UDP
53 TCP / UDP
52428 TCP / UDPBut it does not say if I should NAT these ports or what. Do I just make rules the allow traffic on most of these ports but only to the network extender?
Port 53? I'm don't want to screw up DNS, so since DNS is working, do I need to make a specific rule for the network extender?
Port 500? I'm not using IPSEC. Why are they wanting this port? Just allow port 500 to the network extender?
I'm tempted to make an alias for NetExtPorts for all these ports, then make a rule to allow traffic to flow in to NetExtPorts from anywhere to the IP of the extender.
Do I have to make an outgoing rule? I think the Allow LAN to anywhere should cover that.
I'm using 2.6.0-RELEASE (amd64) -

Have you actually tried it yet?Obviously since you said it's connected.
From what I can see you shouldn't have to do anything except plug it in and go through it's setup.
Did you do the setup yet? -
@jarhead The extender is all set up. When I dial #48 it tells me my phone is connected. Yet my calls are very choppy, and I get dropped calls often. Even though it's connected, I don't think it's able to pass traffic over all the above listed ports. That is why I am making this inquiry.
Will someone please outline the list of rules I need to make it easy for the extender to pass the protocols needed?
Connected is one thing, but working is another thing entirely. -
@itheadquarters Again, you shouldn't have to do anything. Those look like they would all be outbound which would be allowed by default.
but if you want to try it, set up a NAT for each of them to the IP of the device.
