Inbound firewall rules on Meraki MX - where do they apply

[CarlT]

Hi All

Am I correct in saying the Inbound firewall rules on the rules page only apply to traffic coming in via the WAN interface?

If I have a router that sits on the LAN side of the firewall that routes traffic to the MX, I assume the inbound rules would not work?

Cheers

You are correct, however if you want to block traffic between VLANs you can do this in the outbound rules and it will work.
