ip redirection
ip redirection
Use the ip redirection SSID configuration mode command to enable IP redirection for an SSID. When
you configure IP redirection for an SSID, the access point redirects packets sent from client devices
associated to that SSID to a specific IP address. IP redirection is used mainly on wireless LANs serving
handheld devices that use a central software application and are statically configured to communicate
with a specific IP address.
You can redirect all packets from client devices associated using an SSID or redirect only packets
directed to specific TCP or UDP ports (as defined in an access control list). When you configure the
access point to redirect only packets addressed to specific ports, the access point redirects those packets
from clients using the SSID and drops all other packets from clients using the SSID.
Note When you perform a ping test from the access point to a client device that is associated using an
IP-redirect SSID, the response packets from the client are redirected to the specified IP address and are
not received by the access point.
[no] ip redirection {host ip-address [access-group {access-list-number | access-list-name} in]}
Syntax Description
Defaults IP redirection is disabled by default.
Command Modes SSID configuration mode
Command History
Examples This example shows how to configure IP redirection for an SSID without applying an ACL. The access
point redirects all packets that it receives from client devices associated to the SSID zorro:
AP# configure terminal
AP(config)# interface dot11radio 0
AP(config-if)# ssid zorro
AP(config-if-ssid)# ip redirection host 10.91.104.91
AP(config-if-ssid-redirect)# end
ip-address Specifies the IP address to which packets are redirected. If you do not
specify an access control list (ACL) which defines TCP or UDP ports
for redirection, the access point redirects all packets that it receives
from client devices.
access-list-number Specifies the number of the ACL used for packet redirection.
access-list-name Specifies the name of the ACL used for packet redirection.
in Specifies that the ACL is applied to the access point’s incoming
interface.
