Everything Instant On

Hello everyone,

Over the past few days, we've set up a test environment with the following infrastructure:

Fritz!Box → HPE Secure Gateway 1004 → HPE Aruba Switch 1960 PoE → AP22

Our goal is to segment the networks into VLANs and define appropriate firewall rules for traffic between them.

For example, we've configured the following VLANs:

• VLAN 1: Employee network (192.168.10.0/24), including WLAN
• VLAN 2: Printer network (192.168.20.0/24)

Routing has been enabled on the switch, and the routed networks are generally reachable.

I've now created firewall rules intended to allow mutual access between VLAN 1 and VLAN 2. While a PC in one network can ping the other without issue, this suddenly stops working when connecting via WLAN.

So my question is: Could it be that policy activation in HPE Instant On takes some time? Or am I possibly missing a setting?

I assume that the following rules should enable bidirectional access:

• Allow VLAN 1 to access VLAN 2
• Allow VLAN 2 to access VLAN 1

I'd appreciate a brief response - we've only been using the HPE Secure Gateway 1004 for a few days and are still gaining experience.

Many thanks in advance!

Best regards,
STT

Check and see what the setting are in your AP. Make sure isolation on that AP is not enabled. If you can do it wired then the AP is what is stopping it.
