    MSM460

    Firmware 6.0.1
    Autonomous mode

     

    There're two VSC. For each of them:
    -- Radio 1 (5GHz)
    -- Broadcast filtering - Unchecked
    -- Allow traffic between - all
    -- Priority mechanism - Disabled
    -- Egress VLAN - default (no VLAN)
    -- Wireless security filters - Unchecked

     

    All clients on both VSC are on the same subnet (192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0).

     

    The problem is client from one VSC can't communicate with client on another VSC (no ping, no any other protocol).

    Diagnosys points:
    -- Clients on the same VSC can communicate with each other without any problem. This communication obviously occures inside AP, because no any ARP packet goes outside of AP (tcpdump shows).
    -- When client on VSC_1 tries to ping client on VSC_2, broadcast ARP request goes out of AP, but no answer.
    -- When client on VSC_1 tries to ping client on VSC in another egress VLAN (VSC_3), ping is OK.

     

    So, is this behavior normal or it's a bug ?

     

    From my point of view, When client on VSC_1 tries to ping client on VSC_2, AP must manage such requests inside itself without asking LAN (Autonomous mode).
