Site-to-site VPN and multi-site now available

[MiriamK]

Since launching our new GX50 Router Firewall Plus with 500+ Mbps throughput and client VPN, we’re happy to announce both site-to-site VPN and multi-site are now also available!  

Multi-site 

If you have multiple physical locations, or are an MSP (Managed Service Provider) managing many small businesses, we’ve made it easier for you to configure, manage, and monitor each site. 

You can now use a single Meraki Go account or email to manage multiple sites.

Setting up multi-site allows you to: 

• Create site-to-site VPN: easily connect to and access company resources between sites that each have a GX50 Router Firewall Plus.
• Manage multiple offices with Meraki Go deployments from a single account. 
• Manage multiple companies from a single account, if you’re an MSP, partner, or IT consultant.

To get started, from your Meraki Go account in the mobile app or web portal, go to Settings, scroll to the Account section, and select Create a new site.  

Learn more about multi-site and the steps to get started in our technical documentation. 

Site-to-site VPN

We've also released site-to-site VPN on the GX50 Router Firewall Plus! Site-to-site VPN can be enabled for any of your locations that have a GX50. 

You now can choose from another VPN type in addition to Client VPN. As a refresher, Client VPN allows remote workers to securely connect to your company network and access company files from anywhere. Client VPN is configured on all end devices (laptops, phones, etc.). 

The new site-to-site VPN allows any users connected to one of your company locations with a GX50, to access company resources from another company location that has a GX50. Site-to-site VPN is configured on the GX50 device, so no configuration is needed on the client device (laptop, phone, computer).

To get started, from the Meraki Go mobile app or web portal, go to Settings, scroll to Advanced Settings, and select Site-to-site VPN settings.

Can we only create VPNS to other Meraki Go devices?
Im looking at a client that needs a small server and we wanted to host it in Azure. Is it possible to VPN to Azure?

[MiriamK]

@Globalnet thanks for your questions! You can use client VPN with any devices (not Meraki Go only). 

For site-to-site VPN, it works between two GX50 Router Firewall Plus devices only. Any clients in Azure can also use the GX50 client VPN.

For hosting on Azure, that's something currently only offered in our separate Cisco Meraki portfolio for our MX Security & SD-WAN appliances. For example, you can setup a vMX (virtual MX) appliance on Azure - more details here: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/MX_Installation_Guides/vMX_Setup_Guide_for_Microsoft_Azure

Let us know if that helps or any other questions 🙂

Hi! 

Concerning the use of 2* GX50 to mount a site-to-site, one is behind a Firewall or a certain restriction is present, what are the ports to be allowed so that the S2S can be established, because currently, it does not want to mount.

Regards,

I'm very happy to see this feature released!!!

Thank you for pushing the product forward.

How do we determine the exit nodes? I have a gx50 at two sites (sites A and site B) I want both sites to exit to the internet at site A.

So I would like clients on  site B to have the public IP address of site A. 

is this NOT possible with the GX50?

Hi !
I used to deploy Site to Site VPN with Meraki MX devices (non Meraki GO), especially with "IPv4 VPN subnet translation"
Does Meraki GO GX50 can handle IPv4 VPN subnet translation ?

Thanks !
