Firewall rules and bridge mode enabled

[jjabson]

Hi,

I have a question regarding firewall rules and when the AP is set to Bridge mode. My understanding when Bridge mode is enabled, clients obtain IPs from an upstream DHCP server. Can I still use firewall rules even if the AP isn't managing the IP pool being given to the clients?

Thanks in advance,

If someone else doesn't know off the top of their head I could test this on my home network later. That is the only Meraki network I have setup in Bridge mode. Would be pretty easy to confirm. Just add a layer 7 firewall rule to block a specific website and then try to navigate to that website from the wireless network.

Yes, you can. Firewall rules are setup in the same way per SSiD. Just make sure that at the bottom of your layer 3 rules, you deny Local Lan access (if that's the intention)
