Connection from internal LAN IP

We are trying to reach a system on our internal network that will only accept connections from an internal IP address on the same subnet. Is there a way to make the Meraki firewall present a connection request from outside the network as if it's coming from an internal IP address?

Perhaps not,  both port forwarding and 1:1NAT won't change source IP;

 

I think you may consider using Client VPN to assign the client with internal private IPs to enable them to access your internal server anywhere.

Thanks Bo_Tang, this actually worked! I didn't think it would as the client VPN has it's own different subnet. But hey I'll take the W!

 

Thanks again!

You can use a client VPN, and Anyconnect is the best option:

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.
