During a public Wi-Fi session with 10 other users, you run a ping sweep but cannot detect any devices on your subnet. What feature is likely enabled on the WLAN infrastructure to prevent local communication between clients?
In public Wi-Fi environments, it's common to implement security measures that prevent clients from communicating directly with each other. This is achieved through peer-to-peer blocking, also known as client isolation. When enabled, this feature ensures that each client can communicate with the AP and access external networks but cannot interact with other clients on the same WLAN.
This setup enhances security by reducing the risk of attacks or unauthorized access between clients.
