Good Night, it-eatwell

 

Reffering to your post, are the users connected to the Internal Network 10.10.4.0/24 and the APs are on the 10.10.3.0/24?

 

Try creating the follow Policy

 

Incoming: 10.10.4.0/24

Outcoming: 10.10.3.0/24

Source: All

Destination: All

Service: Ping.

 

And create a Reverse Policy too.

Morning Pedro,

 

Yes, i have created the firewall policy in forti.

From 10.10.3.0/24 successfully communicate to 10.10.40.0/24, also reverse.

The problem is :

PC A cannot ping to PC B in the same AP (same network).

PC A can ping to PC B in different AP (same network).

 

Regards,

eatwell

Hi it-eatwell,

I understand that you are unable to access the clients connected to the same subnets but different APs. 

Please confirm how the APs are connected to the network. If there is a switch in-between, then we might have to check if the traffic is blocked anywhere in the path.

You might also consider checking if you have enabled 'Block intra-SSID traffic' in tunnel mode which might block communication between the clients connected to the same SSID irrespective of the APs.

Hi Vimala,

Thanks for the reply.

The topology :

User A -> Access P -> FTG - Access P -> User B

So APs are directly connected to Forti F300E,10.10.1.1, there are no switches in between.

I'm using Ruijie AP.

Thanks.
