How can I apply packet filter on managment vlan of guest

Hi,

 

I have setup in which guests of viprions are in bridge mode and I need to stop inter-guest communication using packet filter. Can someone guide me how can I apply packet filter on management VLAN or if you can suggest any better option to avoid inter-guest communication.

 

Thanks and regards Amit Grover

    Packet filters do not apply to the management interface. I could not find any solution that states that, so I did a quick test and confirmed that.

     

    You can apply filter to the SSH/HTTPS access, for example. For SSH just go to system/platform. For HTTPS, here is the solution:

    Another option is to use AFM, as AFM rules can be applied to the management interface.
