Firewall rules and bridge mode enabled

Hi,

I have a question regarding firewall rules and when the AP is set to Bridge mode. My understanding when Bridge mode is enabled, clients obtain IPs from an upstream DHCP server. Can I still use firewall rules even if the AP isn't managing the IP pool being given to the clients?

 

Thanks in advance,

-Jerome

Yes, you can.  Firewall rules are setup in the same way per SSiD.  Just make sure that at the bottom of your layer 3 rules, you deny Local Lan access (if that's the intention)

Kind of a big deal

If someone else doesn't know off the top of their head I could test this on my home network later.  That is the only Meraki network I have setup in Bridge mode.  Would be pretty easy to confirm.  Just add a layer 7 firewall rule to block a specific website and then try to navigate to that website from the wireless network.
