Gaming devices behind PAN firewall

L0 Member

We are using Capitive Portal for students on our campus. All students' devices including gaming devices get DHCP from a PA2050 and these IP ranges require CP. XBox seems to get DHCP and tries to connect to XBox Live servers, but fails. We don't see the CP login page.

1. If Xbox gets the same IP range that require CP, is it possible to have a policy to allow Xbox gaming?

or

2.  What other options available to allow Xbox gaming w/o disabling the CP?

Any help is very much appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,

You can try to put the destination IP address of Xbox server and negate it in the captive portal policy. In 4.0, you can put fqdn as the destination address for the captive portal policy.
