Load Balancing on MX84 with different ISPs

[mcoomber]

Hi,

I've got two WAN Links connected. 

WAN1 - Static Public IP Address (Primary Uplink)

WAN2 - Private Static IP Address. The gateway for this link is the router's gateway. 192.168.1.1.

Desired Result 

I want to have all mobile phones connect to the internet via WAN2. Desktops and laptops via WAN1, which is the corporate network. 

Work Done So Far

• Created an SSID 
• Created Group Policy only allowing Android, iPod, iPad, iPhone, Blackberry and ChromeOS. 
• Created a VLAN ID 30
• Created a subnet 192.168.48.0/24
• Created a Flow Preference directing the subnet to use WAN2
• Activated DHCP for the subnet on the MX84 

Problem

When I try to connect the phones to the SSID, I get the error message: Couldn't get an IP

What is the port config of the switchport where the APs are connected ?

[mcoomber]

The uplink port from the switch to the backbone switch is the Trunk but the individual ports that the APs are connected to switch are user access ports on the Data VLAN 10

The individual ports that the APs connect to need to be trunk ports, to allow VLAN30.  You can make the native VLAN10 if you like.

It was a pleasure to help you.

Guys, just to let you know that I was helping @mcoomber  closely, one of the things that was missing was to create VLAN 30 on a 3850 switch that was between the MX and the MS. In addition, not all APs had the switch port configured for trunk, which was also causing the problem (this was confirmed by Meraki).

So in short, it wasn't just about allowing VLAN 30 in the SSID and configuring trunk on the ports, it was still necessary to configure the VLAN on the Catalyst switch.

Is VLAN 30 allowed on the trunk from the MX to the switch involved? and same on the switch port to the AP? and is the AP's native vlan something other than 30?

[mcoomber]

The uplink port from the switch to the backbone switch is the Trunk but the individual ports that the APs are connected to switch are user access ports on the Data VLAN 10

[Mloraditch]

The AP ports need to be trunked. You can set them with 10 as the native vlan and at least vlans 10,30 allowed then your setup should work without other changes

[mcoomber]

Thanks, I have configured the ports but will confirm tomorrow if all is well when I'm back in the office. 

[mcoomber]

I'm still getting the error message. Couldn't get an IP address.

[alemabrahao]

Is the MX port also in trunk mode?

[mcoomber]

Yes.

VLAN Configured on switch

[PhilipDAth]

You need to change this from an Access port to a Trunk port.

[alemabrahao]

As informed, the port must be configured in Trunk mode.
