In case the Meraki cloud services are out of services. Will this have any kind of effect on a local network?
How will the configuration changes synchronize to other networks?

Because of the Cisco Meraki out of band architecture, most end users are not affected if Cisco Meraki wireless APs, switches or security appliances cannot communicate with Cisco Meraki cloud services (e.g., because of a temporary WAN failure):
While the Cisco Meraki cloud is unreachable, management, monitoring, and hosted services are temporarily unavailable:

Hi @kami,
Cisco Meraki uses cloud based management to mantain your gears, if the cloud was unable or not, the Meraki gears (MX, MS, MX, MV and SM) still working as well as previusly configured but dont send consume or client informations live.
All of Meraki solutions are able to save the metadata of your devices in itself and other information that will resend when dashboard are online again.
Unfortunely when you do not have connection with dashboard or your gears not connected to the internet, you are not able to change or modify the Meraki gears configurations.
Hope this helps
em, thats a poor answer and doesnt address the question, sorry, even though i appreciate its out of date.
In the event of cloud connectivity loss (which is most commonly caused by a local ISP or connection failure), the Meraki hardware device will continue to run with its last known configuration until cloud connectivity is restored.
