MX-Firewall Traffic Processing Order

hi guys,

 

I`d like to ask a question regarding the processing order of traffic which is comming from the internal LAN and went through the Layer3 Firewall Ruleset...

 

in the offical documentation I found some interesting flowcharts...

https://documentation.meraki.com/zGeneral_Administration/Cross-Platform_Content/Layer_3_and_7_Firewa...

 

but they only cover the point when Layer7 Firewalling came afterwards - the question for me is, when does the URL-Filtering aka Content Filtering kick in?

Hi,

 

I believe content filtering gets lower priority than the firewall L3/L7 rules.

 

Check this documentation.
