Allowed protocols in "Block all access until sign-on is complete" option

Hi All,

 

I have a confusion on below thing.

 

In the Captive Portal Strength part, after we selected "Block all access until sign-on is complete" are any special protocols allowed.

 

I am asking this since, the client need to be assigned an IP from DHCP as we as DNS too although Block all access until sign-on is complete option is selected.

 

As well as, I need to clarify is reachability to the gateway is also allowed.

 

Thanks

What will be blocked is access to the internet.

However, you can still receive IP and query DNS since this is the minimum you need for the Splash page to start.
