Instant Access Rules - Access To Only One Local Server

  • 1.  Instant Access Rules - Access To Only One Local Server

    Posted Feb 24, 2013 09:36 AM

    I'm trying to set up what I thought was going to be a simple access rule to restrict Internet access, but still allow access to one specific server on the LAN.

     

    This setup is for only one SSIDs where iPads will be accessing a web based app that on the local server.  What I thought was going to work, but didn't is:

     

    Deny Any

    Allow DHCP Any

    Allow all services to the IP Address 

     

    I also tried adding in a specific rule to allow http to the IP address and a Custom rule to specifically allow Port 80 to the server's IP.  None of the above worked.

     

    The app is a straight forward web app and only need Port 80

     

    So can anyone tell me what am I missing?  (Did I jut not have enough coffee this morning????)

     

    Thx!

    Your order is probably wrong.  Tryit this way:

     

    Allow DHCP Any

    Allow all services to the IP Address 

    Deny Any

    I resolved the issue.

     

    I finally had a chance to do a factory restart of one of the APs.  I then brought it up by itself (Master), configured everything again and added the rules to the SSID I want restricted.  It tested fine.  

     

    And, as should happen, when I brought up the other APs they got the new image from the Master and all looks good.
