Hi ,

Please do the below steps

If you are using Windows Firewall on all machines.

Create GPO:

Computer Configuration → Policies → Windows Settings → Security Settings → Windows Firewall with Advanced Security → Inbound Rules New Rule → Custom

All Programs Protocol type: ICMPv4 Local IP addresses: Any Remote IP addresses: Put only the one you need. Allow the connection Select Profiles you use. Give the rule a name.

To make sure that all other IPs can’t ping, you have to make one more rule which blocks all ICMPv4 traffic, and in the first rule change action to allow the connection if secure and check Override block rules.
