Hello @Toshi_Esumi Thank you for your reply.

What do you mean by try the note in the admin guide?

Sorry. I pasted a wrong link.

The NOTE is below but basically the same with what @AEK said.

When intra-VLAN traffic blocking is enabled, to allow traffic between hosts, you need to configure the proxy ARP with the config system proxy-arp CLI command and configure a firewall policy. For example:

 

config system proxy-arp

edit 1

set interface "V100"

set ip 1.1.1.1

set end-ip 1.1.1.200

next

end

 

config firewall policy

edit 4

set name "Allow intra-VLAN traffic"

set srcintf "V100"

set dstintf "V100"

set srcaddr "all"

set dstaddr "all"

set action accept

set schedule "always"

set service "ALL"

next

end

Hi

Did you try to enable block-intra-VLAN traffic, then create a firewall policy to allow only the required traffic, like this:

  • Src intf: VLAN-X
  • Dst intf: VLAN-X (same)
  • Src: Client1-IP
  • Dst: Client2-IP
  • Service: ping, ...etc

Hope it helps.
