Accessing the local status page of an appliance - firmware MX 19.1.11

[AnotherRon]

I can no longer access the local status pace using the appliance vlan local gateway address, I get redirected to an address that looks like this: https://<mac-address>.devices.meraki.direct:8092/index.html where <mac-address> = appliance mac address.

This is new. I have always been abled to get to the local status page using a vlan gateway address where LSP is enabled.

We recently rolled out firmware MX 19.1.11 . Has something changed with this version?

Yes, This was stated in the documentation.

- 6. HTTPS/TLS for LSP   
In MX 19.1, the following security appliances and teleworker gateways will replace the use of plaintext HTTP access with TLS for the local status page: 
MX67, MX68, Z4 

The following models - as well as any future new devices not yet listed - will change to TLS as of MX 19.2: 
MX75, MX85, MX95, MX105, MX250, MX450, Z3
Connecting to any LAN IP of such a device using HTTP will automatically redirect your browser to a domain of macaddress.devices.meraki.direct (e.g. a device with a MAC of 11:22:33:AA:BB:CC will redirect to 112233aabbcc.devices.meraki.direct).

It's important to use HTTP in the initial request, because - to avoid conflicts with other services - the local status page on these devices listens on TCP port 80 and redirects to a TLS service listening on TCP 8092
