We're upgrading our switches from Catalyst to Meraki. I got a Catalyst 2960 and on a few switchports it has the "flowcontrol receive desired" command. These are ports that connects to either servers, VMs or iDRAC systems. These switches were put in a long time ago and were programmed by someone before my boss and my time with the company. The question came up as to whether or not we need to be worried about anything when putting in Meraki switches in place of the Catalyst switches. Based on some research this seems to be a Cisco only thing, and that I would not really need to worry much about "flowcontrol" when upgrading to Meraki. But I need more to present to my boss before I move on with the upgrade project. Thanks

That has not helped. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. I've added the computer that I'm testing in, was still able to access websites that should be blocked. I went as far as trying to had my username (AD account) into the security group, no changes. Any other suggestion? Thanks///

Ah ok, and I'm thinking to "append" with the block list and then "override" with the allowed list. That sounds logical to me as long as it goes in that order, checking the block list first then the allowed list. I'll be giving this a try in the next few days. I'll update this thread when done. Thanks

I am aware of using *... that's not my question here. I'm trying to make sure that the group policy will be set to block all websites and then refer to the "allow list" to override the default "block/deny all" rule.

MX64 - client has a specific request that for a few computers at their location, they want the users to only have access to a small list of websites that is related to their work. I'm thinking using AD Security Group and Group Policies would do the trick but I've never set one up like this. Currently I have an AD Security Group set up that the computers will be put in to, and I have a Group Policies set up with a list of websites in the "Allow list" and set to "override". Looking through the options I'm not seeing how to block all websites as the default, before it would go to the "Allow list URL patterns" override list. Any assistance would be appreciated. This just came across my desk today so I have not had any time to test this yet. I will be going to this client sometime next week to finalize the set up and perform tests.
