LAN Broadcast traffic is not blocked, so some
subscribers may see other computers listed under
“Computers Near Me” in Windows. These subscribers
will not be able to share files, ping, or access each
other’s computers, however.

The first “PING” attempt between subscribers may
succeed if the Controller has not previously seen traffic
from that subscriber. Subsequent PING or other packets
will be blocked.

products from ValuePoint. Please contact your Access
Point vendor with questions about LAN Isolation in other
products.
