How Do You Configure MX67 Firewall to Fail Closed?

[MKK]

I'm a newbie to Meraki and to hardware firewall set up.  I need to ensure my MX67 firewall is configured to fail closed if some type of security breach were to occur.  Hopefully this is possible on MX67 model.  Any helpful hints or tips would be greatly appreciated!  

Thanks!

I think what your asking for is threat protection, do have IPS block threats.  This talks about how to enable it and the settings:

Thank you - very helpful.  So, based on the article link below - it looks like the threat protection configuration options are only available with the advanced security license.  I have the enterprise license which includes "secure connectivity and basic security".  What I am really looking for is the ability to configure the firewall to default to closed and block all traffic when the firewall filtering function aborts or is nonfunctional.  Is this really something that is only available with the advanced security license or would I still be able to accomplish this with an enterprise level license?  Again - I'm a network newbie, so am trying to figure all of this out.  🙂

That is not possible with any license.

There is also no status indicator if the fw or filter works or not. So its also not possible with the api.

Ok - thanks for info and response - just working through my learning curve.

@MKK What you are asking isn't possible with any vendor, firewalls just don't simply work like that.

Ok - thanks for the clarification.
