Hello Experts,

Hi @Aditya. Route-based VPNs are not available on the Meraki MX. Both Auto-VPN and Non-Meraki VPN are policy-based VPNs.

If you're referring to SD-WAN technologies: it defintely does, even more. PLease find more information here: https://documentation.meraki.com/Architectures_and_Best_Practices/Cisco_Meraki_Best_Practice_Design/...

 

Apart from (Meraki-"internal") Auto-VPN I'm not aware of something like Route-based VPN.

Thanks a lot for the update.

 

By route-based VPN I mean creating a Virtual tunnel interface and passing traffic through that interface.

 

Could you throw some more light on the Auto-VPN feature?

Auto-VPN is Merakis "propriatery" VPN solution for Hub-and-Spoke and / or Mesh VPN networks: https://meraki.cisco.com/technologies/auto-vpn.

 

It is in fact a "standard" Site-to-Site VPN solution but much easiert to manage as almost everything (up to configuration parameters) is provided though the Cloud dashboard. Of course you can do things like Split- or Full Tunneling, but it doesn't sound like it's the thing you're searching for. From my point of view, there's no equivalent to VTIs on Cisco routers or ASAs in the Meraki world.

Hello , Just wondering if Meraki does support Route-based VPN tunnel in its newer releases.

Hi @Yashi 

 

Yes - the current beta release firmware has support for IKEv2 which allows for route based VPN. 


As per the attached screenshot, obviously it is still beta firmware so keep that in mind! But people have so far been having good results with it
