Azure vMX-M - One armed concentrator showing 10Mbps half duplex

[DarrenOC]

Fired up our first vMX-M within Azure today and we're seeing the internet port  running at 10Mbps/Half duplex.  Is this a cosmetic issue or has something been missed off the configuration within Azure?

I have deployed a vMX-M in Azure aswell, and I see the exact same thing.

I am also wondering if it's a cosmetic thing, or what. But since I have a cut-over deadline for a migration on sunday, I've opened a ticket with Support..

Meraki Support seems to confirm that it is merely a cosmetic issue.
They have other customers reporting the same, while the actual traffic passing through is higher than 10Mb.

Awesome - thanks @rhbirkelund @for following that through with support and letting the community know

No worries. The vMX i Azure has really been a steep learning curve for me. Working on my first deployments, and I have already run in to different odd behaviours.

I haven't done a VMX-M, but the VMX100 only reports the green "up" and doesn't give the link speed or duplex.

[DarrenOC]

We ran into some issues but this was mainly quirks in the networking on the VM.

The actual MX piece was a piece of cake.

I am right now in the middle of a ping pong between Meraki Support and Microsoft Support, regarding who needs to do something, inorder to open ports udp/500 and udp/4500 and forward it to my vMX, so that I can get ClientVPN to work..

[PhilipDAth]

Allowing traffic in through Azure had nothing you do with Meraki.

Microsoft keeps claiming that Meraki needs to remove the Vendor policy, on the Meraki App, inorder to create the NSG, so VPN traffic from my client, can reach the vMX.
Meraki keeps claiming that Mircrosoft needs to do this, and it is noting to do with the vMX policy.
