Question

Allow network broadcast

I have two devices (a server and workstation) that use software that broadcast to communicate with each other on the same subnet.  This works if they are both wired.  If I connect the laptop wirelessly to FortiAPs controlled by FortiWLC which lands the laptop also on the same subnet as the server, then they cannot communicate with each other.  Is there a setting on the FortiAP or FortiWLC that prevents the workstation from doing broadcast or receive broadcast on the network?

Are you FortiAPs in bridged or tunnel mode?
