Routing Forward IP
It looks like you’re configuring some iptables rules for routing and forwarding traffic between two networks with specific IP address ranges. These rules are designed to allow traffic to flow between the “wi.red.net.work” network and the “wire.less.net.work” network through two interfaces, “eth0” and “wlan0.”
Here’s a breakdown of the rules you’ve provided:
-
The first rule:
iptables -I FORWARD -i eth0 -o wlan0 -s wi.red.net.work/24 -d wire.less.net.work/24 -j ACCEPT
This rule allows traffic coming from the “wi.red.net.work” network (source) going to the “wire.less.net.work” network (destination) to be forwarded from the “eth0” interface to the “wlan0” interface. The
-j ACCEPT
part at the end indicates that this traffic should be accepted and forwarded.
