Hi zball8888, 

 

This is likely because one network has AD integration enabled and the other does not.

https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Creating_and_Applying...

 

Please see the above doc and the second blue note:

"

Note: Source IP addresses on layer 3 firewall rules are only configurable on WAN Appliance when active directory integration is enabled.

"

Can you confirm if one site has AD integration enabled?

Two excellent answers.

 

Also, when you think about it, it doesn't make sense to have a "source" when you apply a policy against a host.  The host itself must be the source.
