Traffic Shaping MS Update Service

[workmentim]

Hi Meraki, 

We’re currently exploring ways to manage bandwidth usage more effectively, particularly for services like Microsoft Windows Update, and would like to understand if Meraki supports shaping traffic based on VLAN assignments.

This is the Scenario:

We have 100Mbps uplink with 49 users,

I want to allocate 30 to 50% of bandwidth to Microsoft service update 

I want this rule applied to a specific vlan only.

Could you kindly advise on the recommended approach or configuration steps for this? If there are any documentation links or best practices you could share, that would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

You can create Group Policies in the Meraki Dashboard and assign them to specific VLANs.

These policies can include, Traffic shaping rules, Bandwidth limits and Application prioritization.

Going in a different direction; you could use Intune or group policy to configure the update window.
