WAX630E VLAN bug
Hello, I'm having issues with my 2 WAX630E units. VLANs are not working properly. Configuration: - Netgear MS510TXM Managed switch - 2 WAX630E AP, AP1 and AP2 - 2 VLANs: A & B - 2 SSID:...
This reads more like a firewall or filtering issue. Or are we facing some mDNS (Multicast DNS gateway) configuration on these WAX630E?
- Hi, actually mDNS is disabled on both AP.
Regarding firewall, all traffic is allowed from VLAN A to VLAN B.
I'm facing the issue only when the printer and the laptop are connected to the same Access Point but with different VLAN SSID. Connecting them to two different Access Points, and still with different VLAN SSID works well, which suggests it's not a firewall issue.

And the IPv4 traffic must flow over the firewall. What does Wireshark collect when attempting to access the printer Web UI from the laptop? Sure, there could be additional L3 or L2 issues prohibiting establishing a connection, e.g. on the WAX630E. Start capturing traffic, proof a ping will go through, then we can see what fails on establishing a TCP session.
- Thanks schumaku for the help.
Indeed, I've already captured the packets at 3 different points:
- client laptop
- access point
- switch by mirroring the port the access point is connected to
Something looks wrong to me.
I'm currently out for summer Holliday's. As soon as I'm back home within 3 weeks, I will share the packets capture.
