Trying to bridge a FTTH Connection to meraki but failed

We have no problems last 7 years . we have a meraki and till tuesday we had connected on it a technicolor dga-4130 router on bridge mode to internet port and a second asus router to port 4 for load balancing

On friday our ISP Send us a nokia ONT and a huawei DN-8245V-70 in which the main FTTH Wan connection is locked and i cannot set it to bridge

So i disabled only the wan radio button from the main one and created a second wan connection (on huawei router)

the second wan connection

Enabled wan yes

GE Uplink because of FTTH

PPPoe 

ipv4/ipv6

Bridge wan

and vlan 835 (this is the right one from isp)

and i made a binding to lan port 2 for the bridge connection

 

On meraki i added wan config enabled, PPPoe , vlan id 835 , our credentials for the isp connection and manual global ip because we have a static one

I think that i made something wrong maybe

I set vlan id 835 only to the uplink infos

 

Should i open 835 somehow for the internet port? I didn't find any option for the internet port (only for lan ports)

we have meraki MX64

What country are you in, and which ISP is this?

Hello

NOVA Greece

This time i have not connected the ftth to meraki.

On saturday and sunday i made a lot of configurations from huawei, trying several different settings.

but i never saw the global ip on meraki

i added as always pppoe credentials , auto or static global doesn't matter , we have static, and vlan 835 on uplink settings. i also have the same vlan on huawei and it's enabled

 

The wan connection i create on huawei is connected. because of bridge i have no internet to the pc which is connected onlly to huawei (outside of our local network) but i have statistics on the wan i created on huawei.

Rx and tx bytes. so i

I spoke earlier with our provider. He made a reset to the passord of the connection and he set up a new one.

The last 5 hours meraki works fine with FTTH connection but the problem is that the max up and down limit you can set on mx64 is 250mbps. 

Our FTTH is 1000down/500 up

So we are planning to change maybe the equipment except if there is a solution to increase the limitations

You will need to upgrade the firewall to get higher speeds. See here for what's available at what speeds: https://documentation.meraki.com/?title=MX%2FDesign_and_Configure%2FArchitectures_and_Best_Practices...

Be mindful of the various throughput levels depending on what features are enabled.

Also bee aware that if you can live with speeds less than your circuit max but still higher than currently and are co-term you can upgrade to an MX67 with no license charge: https://documentation.meraki.com/Platform_Management/Product_Information/Licensing/Meraki_Co-Termina...

If you  need full use of the circuit, you will have to pay for a new license for your chose hardware. Your meraki rep may be willing to soften the blow and give you some credit for your existing license, but you will need to talk to them.
