Preventing Inter-user Bridging
If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can disable bridging traffic
between two clients connected to the same AP on the same VLAN. When inter-user bridging is denied, the clients
can connect to the Internet but cannot communicate with each other, and the bridging traffic between the clients is
sent to the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.
You can disable inter-user bridging through the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To prevent inter-user bridging:
1. Navigate to System>General>Show advanced options.
2. From the Deny inter user bridging drop-down list, select Enabled to prevent traffic between two clients
connected to an IAP on the same VLANs.
3. Click OK.
In the CLI
To deny inter-user bridging:
(Instant AP)(config)# deny-inter-user-bridging
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
To deny inter-user bridging for the WLAN SSID clients:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <ssid-profile>
(Instant AP) (SSID Profile <ssid-profile>)# deny-inter-user-bridging
(Instant AP) (SSID Profile <ssid-profile>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
Preventing Local Routing between Clients
If you have security and traffic management policies defined in upstream devices, you can disable routing traffic
between two clients connected to the same IAP on different VLANs. When local routing is disabled, the clients can
connect to the Internet but cannot communicate with each other, and the routing traffic between the clients is sent to
the upstream device to make the forwarding decision.
You can disable local routing through the Instant UI or CLI.
In the Instant UI
To disable local routing:
1. Navigate to System>General>Show advanced options.
2. From the Deny local routing drop-down list, select Enabled to prevent local routing traffic between two clients
connected to an IAP on different VLANs.
