Changing Meraki MX to a 3-party firewall

[garonson]

Hi

I have a customer with with a existing Meraki network that has a Meraki MX as firewall and a lot of meraki layer-2 switches an AP's behind the firewall.

The customer have decided to change the firewall to a 3-party firewall(in this case a Fortigate FW) but would like to keep the meraki lay-2 equipment . 

If we open for all the access to meraki cloud through the new firewall for the layer-2 devices will we be able to see and manage the equipment? Will the layer-2 network keep configuration? What will we loose?

Best regards Goran Aronson

Hi @garonson , this will work and is a pretty standard setup.  Ensure the Forti is configured to allow the required ports and IPs out to the Meraki cloud.

Thank you! I thought so but I have never done it!
