Adding the client to the allow list would simply bypass any splash or firewall settings.</P><P>You'll need to create a separate SSID, however seeing as iPads do support .1x auth, what's the user case you're attempting to solve here? Cert based auth for devices like iPads works well. </P> Tue, 15 Apr 2025 13:11:13 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/801-x-bypass/m-p/5497966#M300797 ConnorL1 2025-04-15T13:11:13Z https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/801-x-bypass/m-p/5497967#M300798 <P>100%, you can't bypass 802.1X that happens before an IP is issued. Any bypass like MAB would have to be on the actual RADIUS server...</P> Tue, 15 Apr 2025 14:43:44 GMT https://community.cisco.com/t5/wireless/801-x-bypass/m-p/5497967#M300798 DainBrammage 2025-04-15T14:43:44Z
