Hallo!
I have an Aruba 1930 48 port PoE switch and 4 AP22 for my home network. All devices have the newest firmware installed. My plan is to segment the network to restrict IoT devices from the rest of the machines in my home network for security reasons. I am running Home Assistant (HA) in a VM on a Windows Server where I was able to separate the devices via the guest network of my home router. The catch is that I either can set the guest network to allow internet access only or traffic also between the devices which I both need depending on the particular device. Besides that, it diverts the use of the guest network from the from its intended purpose and therefore isn't available anymore for actual guest devices.
The problem I have is that one of the WiFi and wired employee networks that serves as an IoT network with network access restrictions in place for access to Internet and Home Assistant only apparently is blocking all traffic in all directions. I can't even ping a device I know is online. I added the restrictions in the app via the options of the WiFi-network. the wired network the WiFi-network is linked to has no restrictions. I entered the internal IP-adresses of the servers which are supposed to be reachable. But as I said all traffic is blocked. When I lift the restrictions the traffic flows as it should.
As I mentioned I use the app to configure and monitor the network for its easy use, but this should not matter whether the network is administrated from the app or locally, right? Is there something I miss? A lenghty web search was to no avail, and the Aruba documentation wasn't particularly helpful either. Can you please advise how I need to configure the network restrictions properly? Thank you very much!
