Issue Description/Phenomenon:
Recently we received feedback that TCP connections (such as Remote Desktop) failed between clients connected to different VLAN SSIDs on the same EAP650/ EAP670/ EAP653. Here is the case details.
Topology & Setup:
Internet --- Router --- EAP650 SSID1 & SSID2 ))) ((( PC1 & PC2
VLAN1 (SSID1): 192.168.1.x/24
VLAN3 (SSID3): 192.168.3.x/24
Problem:
-
When the PC1 & PC2 are connected to the different SSIDs respectively, TCP connections (such as remote desktop) are broken between the two for anything beyond a simple network ping, i.e., the client on VLAN1 can ping the client on VLAN3 but the attempt to open a remote desktop connection ends up a failure.
-
When two PCs are each connected to the same VLAN SSID, the Remote Desktop connection works as expected.
