Teachers are starting to use Minecraft for Education in Class. Great, happy to help. Students and teachers want to be able to join each other's "worlds". Also great, happy to help.We have client isolation turned on on our main SSID (which filters after 802.1x Auth to appropriate VLANs), so clients can't see each other. I'd be happy if I could use L3/ports as a filter as I could then just allow Minecraft traffic, but I can't, L2 only.
A 2nd SSID that is a clone of the first with client isolation turned off, that only turns on in the rooms that require it when they require it (on a schedule communicated by the teachers). This isn't ideal as I'd rather keep clients isolation for a number of other reasons and just allow the minecraft traffic through.
That there is some way I can create a firewall or helper rule that re-directs traffic (though I doubt this as the client isolation happens at the AP, so any directed request won't reach my L2 switches, let alone the L3 ones or router).Alternatively I guess I could look at hosting a dedicated server, or even paying for cloud servers that could be shared, but these would need to be set up dynamically and I presume managed somehow. *sigh*

No mention of L3 anywhere on the config page. As the AP's themselves handle a lot of these settings I wonder if they might not have hardware acceleration/L3 access control features. I remember having those options with the ZD onsite... Might be time for another call to N4L with an open ended "how would you fix this issue" question.
We would deploy a ZD instance so that you could have those options back onsite...
