Meraki info for users in China

Create an organization in the China Service, then manually move all devices to this new organization. All configuration settings will need to be manually recreated. Meraki Support can assist with moving licenses between these organizations by opening a support case.

NOTE: The following services and products are not supported in the China service:

• SM
• MG
• MV
• MI

Unsupported Features in China

The following features are not supported for devices that are configured in the China service: 

• HTTP proxy for cloud communication
• Configuration fetch using HTTP (devices must use HTTPS for configuration fetch)

• MX Advanced Security license: Does not offer AMP on China Dashboard. Content filtering in China is supported in both “top sites” mode as well as “full list” mode just as in other regions. See content filtering documentation for more details. In full list mode, the MX has to make a look up to a cloud-hosted database outside of China which will introduce some latency on the order of a few seconds.

Note that these services are subject to change.
