Group Policy Management
Section titled “Group Policy Management”Group policies in Meraki provide centralized client management and access control by applying consistent network policies to groups of devices or users. These policies enable granular control over bandwidth allocation, VLAN assignment, firewall rules, traffic shaping, and access scheduling. Group policies streamline network administration by allowing policy-based management rather than individual-based access control, and enabling dynamic policy application based on user authentication or device classification.

Examples
Section titled “Examples”Example-1: The example below demonstrates group policies configuration.
This configuration creates network access policies based on user groups and device types. The example includes bandwidth limits, firewall rules, traffic shaping, and access controls for different user categories and organizational roles.
Each policy specifies whether scheduling is enabled, bandwidth settings, firewall and traffic shaping rules, splash authentication behavior, VLAN tagging, and Bonjour forwarding.
IOT: Scheduling is enabled 24/7, VLAN 30 is assigned, firewall and traffic shaping are set to custom, and all other settings use network defaults.
Guest: Scheduling is disabled, VLAN 40 is assigned, custom firewall rules allow all traffic to the Internet and HTTPS traffic to code.jquery.com, bandwidth and splash settings use network defaults. Fully qualified domain name (FQDN) destinations require Meraki network support.
BMS: Scheduling is disabled, VLAN 20 is assigned, custom firewall rules allow all traffic to the Internet, bandwidth and splash settings use network defaults.
CORP: Scheduling is disabled, VLAN 10 is assigned, firewall and traffic shaping are custom, and all other settings use network defaults.
Each policy ensures consistent network behavior and segmentation according to the intended group of users or devices.
