RV160 NAT Hairpinning

rcroman
Level 1
Level 1

I'm running an RV160 on a simple (one subnet) home office network. Port forwarding is working fine when outside the network, but the firewall's NAT is not allowing hairpinning – I cannot reach a device on the LAN from another device on the LAN via the external IP address. I've googled the heck out of this and can't find a simple way to get this to work. It's a fairly important use case for me... simply testing whether port forwarding is working as expected or not, connecting to a forwarded port with a mobile device without having to change the URL when I leave home, etc.

 

Anyone know of a way to get this working, or is this a bug?

Hello Roman,

 

NAT hairpinning option is not available in RV160/260/340 series routers. It can be configured on ISRs IOS-based routers.

 

Regards,

Martin
