I tried to access devices on a different subnet connected to an #Aruba #InstantOn switch. Didn't work.
As it turned out, there is a feature name "Network Protection". It seemed to filter out everything from other subnets. After disabling, everything was fine.
Only took me 2 hours to figure this out 😡

I am not sure why, but this new #Aruba #InstantOn switch I got will NOT stay connected to Aruba’s cloud management. If I plop it on another network it works fine, but on my primary house network? Nah. I’m running #Sophos firewalls on both networks, but there has to be something configured differently on my home network that is getting in the way.

In the end, I don’t really care and can manage the switch locally instead of via the cloud. BUT this is also a lot of hassle for a switch…shouldn’t be this hard to get it working. Also, I was wanting to compare it to #Ubiquiti but not being able to use the cloud features makes that test pointless…
