Inquiry about setting up non-Meraki VPN peers

[JJW]

Hello

You are trying to connect a non-Meraki VPN peer to Muraki VPN equipment in another organization.
 
I set it up, but did you miss anything?

The Meraki side will be the simplest part of the configuration. You need to verify with the other party that their Config matches yours

Hello @JJW, one of the other things to be aware of is that you need to make sure that one (or more) subnets are enabled for VPN traffic. As @DarrenOC already noted, verification that the peer is configured with matching security parameters is necessary. I have included a link to our documentation should you require additional help. At the bottom of the page, there is also a link to our troubleshooting guide.

The VPN settings are all the same.

Maybe I entered the wrong IP for Public IP/Hostname and Local ID?

My authorized IP is X.X.X.94 (Set Public IP/Hostname)

The authorized IP of the other party is X.X.X.81 (Set Local ID)

Hello @JJW. Please confirm that the "Public IP address/hostname" is the peer address of the far-end MX. Also, local IDs and Remote IDs may not be necessary depending on whether or not your MXs are behind another device and are being NAT'ed.

Clear local ID settings 

After setting the authorized IP settings to the counterpart equipment IP, the connection was successful.

Thank you.
