Firmware Version: 1.41

Gateway ACL's do not allow IPGroup etc as either source or destination when LAN->LAN used as a direction.

 

Makes a VLAN for IoT unable to punch through to eg: Home Assistant and renders using a separate VLAN for IoT pretty unworkable.

Seems a pretty basic request and as LAN->WAN direction will accept IPGroups, can't be a hardware issue but rather how the UI is written to restrictivley.

This post https://community.tp-link.com/en/business/forum/topic/606980?replyId=1320472 deal with it but now closed, TP link promised it as a future feature in Feb 2024 - we are 18 months on and doesn't appear to have been implemented - was meant to be in5.16.x but no timeline when this will be released.

Needs addressing urgently.  Anyone got any updates on timeline?

 

(Kudos to the tech support expert at TP-Link who spent 90 mins on webchat yesterday trying to configure on my system - shame he wasn't aware of the controller UI limitation)

@wanblue thank you for confirming, I thought I was crazy that I couldn't work out how to make useful ACL's! As you say, what even is the point of multiple Networks or VLAN if the only ACL you can make is to bridge whole Networks/VLANs 😅 I'm relatively new to Omada, it is advertised as a business solution, so I assumed it had the basics covered, but ACLs seem very limited right now. Looking forward to updates!
