No, directly blocking an IP on the same subnet through the router's firewall typically isn't possible. Here's why:

    Subnet Traffic Flow: Devices on the same subnet communicate directly with each other, bypassing the router's firewall. The firewall is mainly for controlling traffic entering or leaving the subnet, not internal communication.

However, there are alternative approaches to achieve some level of control:

    Client-side Firewalls: You can configure individual device firewalls (Windows Defender Firewall, etc.) on the machines you want to restrict. This allows them to block incoming traffic from the specific IP on the subnet.

    VLANs (Advanced): If you have a managed switch that supports VLANs (Virtual LANs), you can segment your network into separate logical subnets. By placing specific devices on separate VLANs, you can control communication between them using firewall rules on the router for inter-VLAN traffic.

    Sangfor HCI Specific Tools (if applicable): If you're using Sangfor HCI, it's possible they offer specific tools or functionalities for managing internal network traffic within a subnet. Check their documentation for details.
