Problem with AP isolation

ronzino

Occasional Visitor
I have made several mod to my gt-ax6000 configuration also using wl commands in init script.

Everything worked as expect for a month also after reboots.

But now i am having a problem. Wireless clients can access to internet but they cannot be reached from other wifi clients and lan. I have also a wifi ap (not asus) and if wifi client is connect there it can be reached.

It look like ap isolation.

Now, as i made mods with wl commands ,gui values have not sense.

wl -i eth6 ap_isolate give me a 1 as answer.
Nvram get wl0_ap_isolate give me a 0

I have tried to wl -i eth6 ap_isolate 0 but it keeps 1 value. I have tried also in eth6 down but it stay at 1.

I dont know if this ap_isolate is the guilty or not.

For sure i cannot reset/restore/erase current config at the moment.I have to fix this.
what can i look for ?
 
quite strange, i have rebooted again (the third time) and now wifi clients can be reached. wl ap_isolate persists at 1.

is it possible that i crash arp service after a while, running this in service-start ?

#!/bin/sh

sleep 120


cru a CamLetto "*/5 * * * * arp -s 192.168.119.50 7C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
cru a CamCameretta "*/5 * * * * arp -s 192.168.119.51 7C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
cru a CamSala "*/5 * * * * arp -s 192.168.119.52 7C:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"
cru a CamIngresso "*/5 * * * * arp -s 192.168.119.53 F0:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx"

i am trying to do this, in order to solve another problem I have. It is partially fixed so i wonder if two problems are related.

I have 4 tp-link cameras. it is well known that after 30 minutes since their reboot, they stop to answer arp. So my "cru" are there as i am trying to make router answers arp request for cameras ip in place of them. I don't know if this is working.

What i have seen is that sometimes cameras cannot be reached anymore by the NVR when NVR is restared. the only way to reach them again is NOT to reboot the cameras, but the router instead.

so.... i we look at both problem described it seems that some services are crashing in my router. ARP maybe ?
 
it is always wise, and sometimes required, to reboot after a basic config change like that.

ALso, check the syslogs for information on crash or not.
