Adding a Facility or Workforce Zone to a Meraki Firewall

Adding a Facility or Workforce Zone to a Meraki Firewall

Before You Begin

NOTE: Only add Facility and Workforce zones when there's a specific need for them. Adding zones without a purpose can create unnecessary complexity in your network configuration and wastes IP space.
