Deployment scenario where a UFiber OLT and ONUs are used to provide connectivity to different client sites.

In the example diagram above, a UFiber OLT 4 (UF-OLT-4) is connected to several UFiber ONUs (UF-Nano / UF-LOCO). Each ONU is providing connectivity to an individual client site (location A and B). By default, no communication is allowed between the different client sites. This means that a host present at location A is not able to reach another host at location B. This is applicable to all traffic types (unicast, multicast and broadcast). The Client Isolation feature is used to block this traffic and is enabled by default on the OLT. The feature can optionally be disabled if needed in a specific deployment scenario. 

Configuring Client Isolation

Follow the steps below to disable the Client Isolation feature using the OLT Web UI:

GUI: Access the UF-OLT Web UI.

1. Navigate to the System settings  settings.png  tab.

2. Disable the feature in the GPON section.

System settings > GPON > Client isolation

Client isolation: Uncheck

3.    If IGMP Snooping also needs to be disabled, uncheck the IGMP snooping option as well.

System settings > GPON > IGMP snooping

IGMP snooping: Uncheck
NOTE:This is a global setting that applies to all connected ONUs. It is not possible to only disable to feature for certain clients.

4. Save the changes.

To disable the Client Isolation and IGMP Snooping Feature using the Ubiquiti Network Management System (UNMS), follow the steps below:

GUI: Access the UNMS Controller Web Portal.

1. Navigate to the Devices  devices.png  and select the UFiber OLT.

2. Select Settings  settings.png  and disable the Client Isolation and optionally the IGMP Snooping feature in the System section.

Devices > UFiber OLT > Settings > System > GPON

Client isolation: OFF
IGMP snooping: OFF
NOTE:This is a global setting that applies to all connected ONUs. It is not possible to only disable to feature for certain clients.

3. Save the changes.
