Yeah I was trying to keep this simple and leaving isolation on but it looks 
like on that ap ill have to disable it.  For what it is worth, I do believe 
that anyone that wants to run vpns between locations should be able to do it 
without any special treatment,

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] SM Isolation Question

Disable SM isolation or route between them (/30's or whatever).

Example:

Options and expected outcomes
*** Disable SM Isolation (the default selection). This allows full 
communication between SMs.

-          Works fine, all traffic can pass, Expected�..

*** Enable Option 1 - Block SM destined packets from being forwarded. This 
prevents both multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication.

-          Doesn�t work, can establish connections between sms.�

*** Enable Option 2 - Forward SM destined packets upstream. This not only 
prevents multicast/broadcast and unicast SM-to-SM communication but also sends 
the packets, which otherwise may have been handled SM to SM, through the 
Ethernet port of the AP.

-          Doesn�t work, I thought this would work, I assumed all packets 
would be sent upstream to the router than the router would send it back to the 
clients, similar to how mac forced forwarding works on my fiber network.�

So I guess my question is �Am I totally miss understanding what option 2 
does?� Is the only possible way to allow vpn traffic between sms on the same 
access points have to have �Disable SM Isolation set?�

Thanks, Craig.
