Peer-to-Peer blocking on WLC

[aleopoldie]

Hi,

I just have a doubt concenrning P2P blocking.

Is it applied only on local switching WLAN's ? Or can it be applied on central switching SSID's also ?

We noticed when P2P is on drop on a SSID, it's still possible to make a TCP connexion between 2 clients, or to ping each other.

Thank you.

Hi,

Peer-to-peer blocking is supported for clients that are associated with the local switching WLAN.

can it be applied on central switching SSID's also

Unified solution for central switching clients supports peer-to-peer upstream-forward. However, this is not supported in the FlexConnect solution. This is treated as peer-to-peer drop and client packets are dropped.
Unified solution for central switching clients supports peer-to-peer blocking for clients associated with different APs. However, this solution targets only clients connected to the same AP. FlexConnect ACLs can be used as a workaround for this limitation.
