I need to to filter (...disconnect from WAN) my son's PC during the afternoon in order (I hope...) to have him studying, instead of playing with msn.
I would like to find a way to do this automagically (via a cron job), but I can't find a cm_cli command to turn the filter on/off
(...I can't disconnect the ppp side, cause I need my pc running).

Here I found some commands, and one of them seems to be interesting ("lanfilter0:settings..."); but I don't know what (and how) I'll need to set...

Any idea would be (really!) appreciated
Thank you in advance for your help

Use rshaper and throttle his bandwidth to 125 bytes per sec.

Thank you, thechief. But imho... it's not the same thing.

First of all I would need to load the rshaper module, and I would prefere not to (...the router is already running some -heavy- custom applications). Also (maybe) it should be possible for my son to bypass the rshaper, simply changing the IP address... which is a too simple task.

Eventually (...if it's simpler) it would be fine to filter (stop) all traffic to all stations ("Advanced" -> "IP Filters", "LAN IP: Any", "Block All Traffic" checked), since my son's PC is using the 604t as a sort of gateway to the "real" gateway (...and it's the only station doing this in my home network).

So the question is: (how) can I retrieve the command which is launched when I execute such setting...?

Thank you again for your attention

You can't - unless you find a way to snoop into what the core logic is doing.

...I did it, just sniffing the traffic generated by the web interface while I was setting the filter, and looking into the frames

So, the commands are:

to block all traffic, and


to unblock it.

...Obviously, you must add "logic:command/save;" to the above commands, if you want to permanently save your setting.

It's possible to check the state too (blocked/unblocked), using


that will return 0 (=unblocked) or 1 (=blocked).

Thank you for your help

Excellent! Now we can add more to our cm_cli syntax list
