Benchmark reference

Reads the export, not the device

ConfigProof reads a configuration export. This control is evaluated against the objects in that file, and it reports what the file says. It does not connect to the device and sees no traffic, so a finding here describes the configuration, not what the firewall is doing right now.

Why it matters

Devices that only share a password, or none, sit on the same network as internal systems.

How to fix it

Web interface

The steps below are written for the web interface. A finding raised on your own export carries the same steps with your object names filled in.

  1. In the Meraki Dashboard: Wireless > Access control > select the SSID > Client IP assignment: Meraki AP assigned (NAT mode), or a dedicated VLAN the firewall separates.
  2. In the Meraki Dashboard: Wireless > Firewall & traffic shaping: Deny local LAN.

Command line

This analyzer version writes no command text for this control. The steps above are the remediation it offers.

How to confirm the fix

  • In the Meraki Dashboard: Wireless > Firewall & traffic shaping shows local LAN access denied for the SSID.

Limits

  • No limitation is recorded for this control beyond the one that applies to all of them: it reads a configuration export.

Compliance references

No benchmark recommendation is mapped to this control in this version.
