Hello togehter,
we bought a new MX250 for our new branch office and connected it via WAN1 to our ISP.
We configured via the local config page WAN1 with the following settings:
VLAN tagging: Use VLAN tagging
VLAN ID: 7
Connection type: PPPoE
Authentication: Use authentication
Username: 0025909*******95511*****************@t-online.de
Password: *********
IP assignment: Dynamic
After a couple of minutes the MX250 is successfully online.
So far so good. Now we want to use VLANs. So we go to the dashboard and enable VLAN and leave it with the default configuration. After the config applies, the MX250 appliance is disconnected from the internet and we have absolutely no idea whats wrong.
If we disable VLAN and use "Singele network", the internet connection comes up again.
What we also tried:
* beta firmware update to version 15.36, without any change.
* contact meraki support, which was quite useless.
Maybe someone can help us to reach out that problem.
Regards,
Martin
Solved! Go to solution.
Sadly, this is a known bug. From the release-notes:
You probably have a DSL-Modem in front of the MX. Disable VLAN-tagging on the MX and let the DSL-Modem do the job. I personally prefer the Draytek Vigor for this.

Ok thanks!
The connection is already a L2 connection. I will try to untag the VLAN on the switch.
We share your pain !
In our instance we decided to get the carrier to strip VLAN tagging on the cct, rather than go with beta code.
But if you like living dangerously there is a fix starting in 15.37

😱 😁💣
We have been running firmware 15.x for over a year now and our MX250 HA pair are currently on 15.37. We haven't seen any service affecting issues and you can always roll back.
