      I'm being cheeky to ask for help on ACLs on my netgear switch, but it is generic networking, so i figure there is no better place than here ;-)

      I have openwrt on some tplink access devices configured in unmanaged bridge wifi->vlan mode.
      Of course every mobile devices that connects to wifi floods with ipv6 multicast dns [ff02::fb]:5353

      Apparently, the ACLs on the bridging does work so well on the openwrt through the gui (i'd be stuffed without it).

      Solution i think it to add an ACL to my netgear switch ports that connect the tplink devices. But, stuffed if I know what to configure. If I can be so cheeky to ask here, can someone tell my what settings i need to configure on the below screen to block these requests on the port please.

        tplink access devices

        Some TP-Link access points and switches don't handle multicasts and VLANs properly. I had a TP-Link access point, which allowed multicasts from the main LAN onto the VLAN for my guest WiFi. This made it impossible for me to use IPv6 on the guest WiFi.

        I replaced that AP with a Unifi AC-Lite, which works properly.

        PfSense running on Qotom mini PC
        i5 CPU, 4 GB memory, 32 GB SSD & 4 Intel Gb Ethernet ports.

        I haven't lost my mind. It's around here...somewhere...

          @jknott i don't need to replace the tplinks. i can simply put an ipv6 ACL on the ports of the netgear that connect to it and my purpose is solved. My trouble is, i don't know what i need to put in the config screen i posted
