Access Policy local subnets

[Bazz_Tars]

Hi

Need  clarification please

I have the following local network  LAN ports  configured on a SMB 1530  and managed via smart 1 Cloud

-  no vlan  - no bridge , running as separate networks

 port 2  - 192.168.8.254 /24

 port 3  - 172.16.1.254  /24

 port 4     172.16.2.254  /24

For these LAN subnets to communicate  with each other:

1. Do I need to create an allow Access control rules between the subnets

2. Since I am doing  HIDE NAT on the those subnets do I then need to add a manual NAT keeping the original source IP address ?

I did some initial tests and seems I can route between those subnets without the  above in place

Just need to know what is best practice

Thank you

Depends on this setting:

If you have it set to standard, it operates as it's working for you now.
If you have it set to strict, then you need to configure specific rules (both for access and NAT).

Hi PhoneBoy

I am managing the 1530 R80.20  from Smart-1 Cloud so using the Access Policy from there
would the same still apply?

thank you

Is a similar screen accessible from the local appliance in that case?
I don’t have a centrally managed SMB appliance handy to check.

No - you will only see the tabs:

- Home
- Device
- Users & Objects
- Logs & Monitoring

So all other configuration is managed from Cloud Dashboard.

Set up brand new 1530 for customer recently, what phoneboy said is exactly right!
