Device isolation only on a specific AP in FlexConnect mode?

[Flavio Boniforti]

Hi there.

We have an SSID with device isolation enabled.

Now we would like to be able to disable device isolation on a "per AP" basis - considering that all APs are connected in FlexConnect mode.

We're running 7.6.120.0 OS and have 3500 series APs (and some 3600).

Thanks for your reply!

Hi Flavio,

Device isolation (I assume you are referring to P2P Blocking) can only be done on a per-WLAN basis and each WLAN must be unique to a WLC therefore you will not be able to achieve this with a single WLC even with FlexConnect/AP Groups.

The only workaround/hack I would think that you could do is to have another WLC with the same SSID hosting the APs for that particular area with P2P Blocking disabled but that would only affect those clients on that AP and would break roaming between APs etc.

Thanks Ric, that's what I also supposed... but I wanted to ask for it.

I created an additional SSID and disabled "device isolation" for that one.
