Gentlepeople
In a previous post I explained why imho the gateway product is far from ready for release as it lacks important features:
- Logging (and access to the logs)
- Geofencing
- Granular IDS control
The first point on that list makes troubleshooting an absolute pain, yes you can call upon the Aruba Helpdesk service and they will endeavour to help you to the best of their ability but it mostly takes a few days before you have actually someone on a call to assist you. The cost of cost optimising support, expected with an SMB line of products. That brings me to the reason for this post, I had an "interesting" finding during one of these sessions where a helpdesk employee was helping me to see why WiFi clients of the "Home" network weren't able to access interfaces on the wired Home network (both VLAN 10). After about an hour of banging our heads we activated the "allow routing between networks" option that solved the issue .
This was rather counter intuitive as both source and destination were in the same subnet and VLAN (VLAN A, Subnet 192.168.A.0/24) but with the addition of the gateway who found himself in the management network (VLAN B, Subnet 192.168.B.0/24) it was apparently needed for it to function. I hope this helps you with your troubleshooting process.
Kind regards
