You want to to temp disable them? And not remove them?

No thats not possible

 

If you want to disable nat on the wan. Then you have to request no-nat at support

@ww is correct - you can call into Meraki Support and they will be able to enable a No-NAT option, however, there are other ramifications that will happen that Support can explain.

 

I'm curious what the design is because we have a lot of customers who manage the Meraki way without the No-NAT option.

A lot of times Meraki solves problems differently than the traditional networking ways and therefore one may not need a feature that was traditionally used in the past.

The support replied that I should install a beta firmware version so they can enable the NO NAT feature on it. I do have  the latest version 15.42.

How can I obtain a beta version to replace the 15.42.

NO NAT requires 15.3+, so while your 15.42 is not labeled "beta" it does support it and support will be able to find that documentation.

 

Keep in mind: This is a beta feature, and we do not recommend beta features for production environments, however, if your deployment requires the use of this feature, we recommend testing in a lab environment first.

 

Also, if this is a scenario to terminate a MPLS connection, we recommend using the MX in passthrough mode or terminate MPLS connections on the LAN side of the security appliance whenever possible.
