Good day community,
I hope that someone here can assist me with this design i am working on, this is the first time setting up a Meraki MX Firewalls.
We have 4 ISP internet connections that will be connected to 4 different cisco routers and the routers are then connected to two differrent Meraki Clusters here is a diagram of what the design looks like.
However I would like to know if this will work as intended.
Here is the diagram. I would love some input on the design.
Hi Alemabrahao,
Oke so if you mean that each cluster will be in their own network within the dashboard yes.
The way that we saw this working is that you have one cluster for the heavy duty traffic like guest internet access and mostly the IOT devices that connect everything together on the MX105.
And then for streaming and point of sales systems to be on the second MX85 clusters.
You say that you have configured the same sort of topology did you also have 4 ISP connections for different uses?
Exactly, the only difference is that I have two data centers in my topology, but I used 4 links.
How will you manage the failover on the 9500s between the two clusters (or do you even need failover of the Internet circuits)?
Do you need 4 x ISP circuits? Life would be much simpler if you could drop back to just two ...
Hi Philip,
Yes we need 4 ISP circuits, each circuit will have its own function. There is no failover planned between these circuits.
@Marcel_Smal looking at the bandwidths, it appears that you have a 1Gb circuit, a 500Mb one, a 100Mb one and a 10 Mb one. Why not just have everything across two 1Gb circuits, then all services could have a degree of high availability?
