VPN to Azure

Hi, I'm looking at quoting for Meraki Go for a client that has a number of small shops. They have a server that I want to move to the cloud. Can the GX50's support a site to site VPN to Azure or only Meraki to Meraki ?

 

its a bit of a deal breaker if it doesn't do it 😞

Cisco announced site-to-site VPN functionality earlier today.

 

https://community.meraki.com/t5/Announcements/Site-to-site-VPN-and-multi-site-now-available/ba-p/174...

 

Even with this announcement, the site-to-site VPN will only work between two GX50 firewalls. So no, you cannot connect a GX50 to Azure with a site-to-site VPN connection. You will still need to step up to the Meraki MX security appliances to achieve a site-to-site VPN connection with Azure.

Yes that’s what I thought. Some of the stores only have 2 PCs so can’t justify the cost of Meraki MX I’ll have to look at a different vendor in this instance.

Regular Meraki will do it though.  Meraki Z3 is about same price but requires licencing.  Azure IKE2 Multi-site VPN is an expensive option though
