MX Device IP Address

[Naresh_Bhardwaj]

Hi 

What's the difference between General and WAN 1 IP address.

This snapshot is take from demo. Can someone please explain why there is an private IP address on the WAN which is connected to Internet directly.

There are two sites i was checking one is in Chicago and the other one is in London however the WAN IP address are same at both location under Security @ SD WAN -->  Appliance status.

   

Appreciate the quick response.

The General - Public IP is the IP address that the Meraki cloud sees the management traffic coming from for that device. Whereas the WAN 1 IP address is the IP address that is actually assigned to the interface - in the example it’s dynamically assigned so probably provided from the ISP from a private address pool. Since they are different I would suggest that someone or something is doing a NAT on your link (if it’s a ‘direct’ internet link, then I’d suggest it’s the ISP).
