For more detailed information and examples of ACLs, see our MS Switch ACL Operation article.
ACL Location in Meraki Dashboard
To configure an ACL from the Meraki dashboard, navigate to Switch > Configure > ACL.
Initial Setup
Upon initial setup, you will see that the explicit "Permit Any Any" rule is defined by default.
Add a Rule
To add a new rule, select the Add a rule button below the list of ACL rules.
Edit a Rule
For each ACL rule, you can define the policy, IP version, source IP address or subnet, source port, destination IP address or subnet, destination port, and VLAN. You also have the option to describe the rule in a comment section.
Note: The source and destination addresses must be an IP address or subnet in CIDR form (e.g. '192.168.1.0/24'), or 'any'.
Note: The VLAN qualifier is not supported on the MS390. For the MS390, ACL rules with non-empty VLAN fields will be ignored.
Move a Rule
To change the position of a specific rule in the ACL, select the crossed arrows symbol to the right of the rule and drag the rule up or down the list.
Remove a Rule
To delete a rule from the ACL, select the x symbol to the far right of the rule.
Save Changes to an ACL
To save changes to the ACL rules, select the Save button below the ACL.
The Save button will be surrounded by an amber bar if there are unsaved changes on the page.
It may take 1-2 minutes for the changes to the ACL to propagate from the Meraki dashboard to the switches in your network.
