MX60 second internet port
I am trying to switch the LAN 1 port on my MX60 over to be a second internet port.
However, I am unable to login to my Local Status Page.
When I go to: http://mx.meraki.com or http://wired.meraki.com
I get a message that I'm not likely connected to a Meraki device, and when I click that I am and continue, I end up at my AP Local Status Page and not my security device.
The MX60 does not have a dedicated management port, and I do not know how to find the MX's LAN IP address.
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Solved! Go to solution.

Hi @bjincosta
Make a note of the MXs uplink IP details and then factory reset the device. Hold the reset button for approx 15-20 seconds. The device will reboot. Connect your machine to the MX, you’ll be assigned an IP via a dhcp. Then browse to Mx.meraki.com. You’ll be asked for a username and password. The username is the device serial, no password required. Re-assign the device IP details and then enable the secondary WAN port.

Hi @bjincosta. Do you have access to the Meraki Dashboard and Network for which the MX is assigned? If so you can source the devices IP address from there.

Hi @DarrenOC .
Thanks for trying to help.
Unfortunately, none of the IP addresses that appear under Uplink (Public, IP address, Gateway, DNS) work for me.
Public takes me to a Residential Gateway login, for which I don't have the login info.
IP Address times out.
Gateway also takes me to a Residential Gateway login, for which I don't have the login info.

I'm ready to try this suggestion. Before I do, when you say connect my machine to the MX, do you mean via ethernet cable?

Thank you, this worked. However, it didn't work until I switched from Chrome browser to Safari. It kept giving me connection errors and timeouts in Chrome, and I finally thought maybe I'll try Safari and it worked. So it might have worked in Safari without the reset... not sure.

Under Network-wide/General there is a section called Device Configuration and there you can control if the local status page is enabled, perhaps it is disabled?

It is enabled. I can reach the local status page for my AP, just not the MX60
