IR302 Blocking Unknown Devices (WIRED)

IR302 Blocking Unknown Devices (WIRED)

Problem Scenario

Client has a IR302 router, and an authorized card reader and a controller are connected to the router, for regular operation.

But recently there are two more unknown devices connected to the router via RJ45 (wired), and they consume some internet data. Client wants to block them.

Solution

Step 1: find the devices

1. In the Internet Browser address bar, enter 192.168.2.1 (default router Web UI address). It will prompt the Router Login as shown below
 

2. Use your username and password to login. Unless changed, the default username and password are printed at the back of the IR302 router device. For example, username/password: adm/123456. If login successes, it will come to this interface:

3. Navigate to Status -> Device List to see what devices are connected to your router currently, as shown below, the write down the MAC addresses of all devices.


Step 2: create rules

1. Assign IP Addresses to the devices MAC addresses. (Because MAC addresses are unique and physical, but IP addresses are dynamic and changeable). Via Firewall -> MAC-IP Bundling to access the interface.

Then use the MAC Addresses and IP Addresses you got from the previous step to fill the areas.

2. Blacklist or whitelist the IP addresses that bundled with the MAC addresses assigned in the previous step, by navigating to Firewall -> Filtering interface as below.

 

3. Under the Action column, you can choose if you want to allow or block this IP address to visit the internet, by selecting Accept or Block.

Proto: leave it ALL

Destination: leave it blank.

After finishing one IP address, click Add button on the bottom right corner to add another IP address, until you finish setting up your filtering rules.

Then click Apply button on the bottom left corner.

The new rules will be in effect immediately and automatically without restarting.
