Allow specific intra-SSID traffic

Hi FGT/FAP admins

I have a SSID in tunnel mode where I enabled "block intra-SSID traffic".

Now I need to allow intra-SSID traffic only between some specific clients on some specific ports. Is there a way to do that? I mean just the same way we do with zones (deny intra-zone traffic then enable exceptions with firewall rules).

Hi,

In tunnel mode, the traffic is completely blocked between 2 wireless clients on same SSID with block intra-SSID traffic option . Since both clients are connected to same subnet, firewall policy may not help here as policies are supposed to route traffic from interface to another.

@kaurs Is WiFi SSIDs different from SSL VPN case? With SSL VPN, you can control access between users with policies ssl.root<->ssl.root. So I thought it might be possible when you set ssid.interface<->ssid.interface policies.

Hello @AEK ,

 

 You can try place the devices you want to allow communication between on separate SSIDs or VLANs and then setup firewall policy accordingly.
