Flexconnect Central Switching - Allow P2P communication between Clients of same SSID

NaveenG_Wi-Fi

I am looking to enable communication between clients of the same SSID. Ours is a Flexconnect AP- Central Authentication / Central Switching setup. Under WLAN settings, the P2P blocking option is currently set to 'Drop'. There are options  'Disabled'  and 'Forward-UpStream' available. Choosing 'Disabled' would meet my requirement or is there anything additional that needs to be configured. Please advise.

'Disabled' would allow Peer to Peer communication.  No more additional config required.

Step 1 Choose WLANs to open the WLANs page. Step 2 Click the ID number of the WLAN for which you want to configure peer-to-peer blocking. Step 3 Choose the Advanced tab to open the WLANs > Edit (Advanced) page. Step 4 Choose one of the following options from the P2P Blocking drop-down list: Disabled—Disables peer-to-peer blocking and bridges traffic locally within the controller whenever possible. This is the default value. Note *** Traffic is never bridged across VLANs in the controller. *** Drop—Causes the controller to discard the packets. **** Forward-UpStream—Causes the packets to be forwarded on the upstream VLAN. The device above the controller decides what action to take regarding the packets. Note To enable peer-to-peer blocking on a WLAN configured for FlexConnect local switching, select Drop from the P2P Blocking drop-down list and select the FlexConnect Local Switching check box. Step 5 Click Apply to commit your changes. Step 6 Click Save Configuration to save your changes.

HI.

Thanks for your inputs. But I have interface group mapped to the WLAN ID on which I want to allow P2P communication. between clients. Is it possible in my case? 

I have interface group mapped to the WLAN ID / SSID so, clients may get IP from any of the Vlans part of the interface group. The document says *** Traffic is never bridged across VLANs in the controller. ***   My concern is,  clients that belong to different subnets (vlans) can communicate with each other ?
