Access Control
In some cases, it is necessary to block a specific client on a network. This configuration will apply to the whole network and will affect the client immediately.
Blocked List
Navigate to Configure > Client Access Control > Rules > Block list to access this screen.
You could block clients in all SSIDs in the current network or on an SSID basis depending on your requirements. This blocked list displays which you added the blocked clients in SSID > Access Control and Manage > Clients. So you could manage whole blocked clients easily in single lists.

VIP Lists
All VIP clients can bypass the Captive portal. Wired VIP clients can bypass L2 isolation.
If wireless printer/scanner/IoT to be accessible, pls make sure the wireless printer/scanner/IoT devices are under the SSID of
Bridge mode
L2 Isolation is disabled
Optional: If captive portal is enabled on the SSID, the “VIP” can let the IoT skip captive portal entry
If wired printer/scanner / IoT device to be accessible, then
Make the devices be “VIP” to all SSIDs (or to the SSIDs for the wireless clients to be able to access)
Any wireless client can access. No matter if NAT/Bridge mode. L2 Isolation can be enabled/ disabled

How to remove VIP clients

If L2 isolation is enabled, the whitelist clients will be excluded, which means clients under the subnet can access this client even if L2 isolation is on (Only wired clients can take effect )
If NAT mode, no whitelist client will be allowed. That means Under NAT mode, “client isolation” will be enabled automatically
Whitelist
You could block clients in all SSIDs in the current network or on an SSID basis depending on your requirements. This Whitelist displays which you added the white clients in SSID > Access Control and Manage > Clients. So you could manage whole whitelist clients easily in single lists.
The default Client Access Control is Blocklist, so you need to change the default ACL Rule to Allow whitelist only, so your whitelist client will take effect.
