Cellular MX / LTE Backup Speeds and Meraki Settings and Script

[AshP]

Hey, Could the LTE failover speed be affected by any settings in Meraki at all or is it completely dependent upon the SIM/Service etc?

Configuration is on WAN2 and I assume Meraki support needs to be contacted to run a script but unsure the exact term for it? Are there any LTE backup related general or known issues or fixes?

Thanks 🙂

Hi Ash,

Please take a look at the following KB for details on how failover works. 3G/4G Cellular Failover with USB Modems - Cisco Meraki. If you are seeing a specific issue with the backup not coming up quickly you may want to contact support and have the support team take a look at your configuration.

Thank you Kathleen 🙂

[ I clarified a bit further on WAN2 failover and requesting running a script?...

That, soon as Port 2 is set as WAN 2 for LTE failover - it will work. However, Meraki is contacted to ensure all the firewall rules and settings are correctly configured. Hope this is correct as well ]
