APs going offline Tmobile - Zscaler non Meraki peer Tunnels

Hello,

 

We have been using Meraki non peer Zscaler tunnels with both Verizon and ATT gateways for a while now.  For the most part they have worked with only some issues from time to time.  We recently started testing T-Mobile Katalyst gateways and when the Zscaler tunnel is enabled the AP's fail immediately.  We drop the tunnel and the AP's come back online.  Has anyone had this issue with T-Mobile?  The setup we are using is the exact same as with the other gateways.  We are using IPsec with IKEv2 standard default Zscaler settings.

   

Thanks,

Do you know if they use CGNAT? If so, this adds packet overhead and can interfere with IPSec tunnels, especially with IKEv2 and default MTU sizes of 1500 bytes.
MTU fragmentation is a known problem with Zscaler on wireless ISPs like T-Mobile. Reducing the MTU in the Zscaler policy or on the tunnel interface usually solves the problem.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.
