Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WISMs and Peer to Peer blocking
Funny you say that. That is exactly what I suggested this afternoon to the local Cisco Engineer. :) Original message Date: Wed, 17 Jan 2007 23:53:21 -0800 From: Jake Woodhams [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WISMs and Peer to Peer blocking To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Look into using VACLs on your 6K supervisor to filter traffic between WiSM controllers. - Jake On 1/17/07 4:23 PM, Anthony Croome [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) Thanks guys.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WISMs and Peer to Peer blocking
Unicasting to not reveal my lurking status... :-) You wouldn¹t happen to be looking at clients connected across the controller boundaries would you? In other words, say AP1 is connected to WiSM controller A and AP2 is connected to WiSM controller B. Peer-to-peer blocking works on a per controller basis today, so clients connected to AP1 would be able to communicate with clients connected to AP2. - Jake On 1/16/07 11:51 PM, Anthony Croome [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Has anyone out there had problems with peer to peer blocking on the WISMs WLAN controllers? I originally enabled it on the two controllers, and I thought it worked. But now it doesn¹t seem to be working as I can happily scan away and see other wireless clients and connect to their ports. It is definitely enabled, I checked the WCS gui, each controllers GUI and each controller CLI. And they all report Peer to Peer blocking is enabled. I am running release 4.0.179.11 on the controllers.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] WISMs and Peer to Peer blocking
I'm fairly certain that, in this context, Peer-to-peer blocking refers to preventing wireless clients from seeing each other through the controller (at all), and not to any specific protocols or applications that those clients might be trying to run to Internet destinations.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WISMs and Peer to Peer blocking
Look into using VACLs on your 6K supervisor to filter traffic between WiSM controllers. - Jake On 1/17/07 4:23 PM, Anthony Croome [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Generator Microsoft Word 11 (filtered medium) Thanks guys.
