Can I manage firewall rules by template?

I have 3 site and 3 ssids each other.

 

I consider deploy same firewall rules to these sites.

 

Can I use the template to manage only firewall rules?
I don't want to manage with template the SSID's and the other configurations.

Sadly, this is not possible. Yes, having kind of "Config-Objects" that can be applied to different networks would boost productivity with Meraki. But no, that is not possible.

 

Workaround: Configure your rules as a JSON object on your PC and use the API to push it to all networks that need the same config.

On the SSID-Firewall? Does the Support have to enable that?

Hmmm - I'd never tried it on MR FW before.   It seems Network Objects applies to MX only.  Could I suggest people 'Make a wish' for Network Objects on MR too..?

I think I did that already some time ago, but I wished for that now again.

I'm waiting for network objects (official).

I'll try it when I get a chance to verify.

Thank you for your reply.

 

I can see the network objects functions.

 

If the function will be official, I will try it.
