Can Meraki Work Without Internet?

Re: Can I access Meraki device offline? Very simple answer: no. For any configuration beyond getting the device online, you need to use Dashboard. Meraki products are not meant to be used or configured offline.

How do I connect to Meraki locally?

Navigate to Security Appliance > Configure > Firewall > Layer 3 > Appliance services. In the field for Web (local status & configuration), enter "any" to allow access from any remote IPs, or enter address ranges in CIDR notations separated by commas. Click Save Changes.

How does a Meraki device behave if cloud connectivity is temporarily lost?

The Meraki Cloud is an out of band architecture, meaning that no client data flows through the Cloud. The system is also designed to handle connectivity failures gracefully. If a Meraki data center experiences an outage, your network will automatically fail over to another Meraki data center.
