P2P Blocking action workaround

jacksonajax — Wed, 15 Jun 2022 19:33:58 GMT

I have two WLAN. First WLAN1 has P2P action set to Drop. Second WLAN2 has P2P blocking disabled. Both WLAN are the same interface on the WLC. I would like to have a user on WLAN1 access a resource on WLAN2. Will Allow Private group work for just one user?

You can not allow or deny only one user, either you allow for everyone or you deny for everyone. But, P2P blocking only affect users under the same WLAN. In you scenario, users from wlan 1 will communication with users on wlan2.

Flavio's answer is correct. you P2P will block only users under the same WLAN.

If you want to allow WLAN1 accesss to WLAN2 and not viceversa, or don't have access to any other internal resource, then you need to use and ACL applied to whatever WLAN and direction you desire, or create ACLs on the L3 switch or router that serve that VLAN where the WLANs are mapped to.
