VMX in AWS

Hello all,

just wondering if anyone has a vMX deployed in AWS they could help me with. I have setup a subnet for the vMX and then a private subnet for the PBX system. 

I have added a ENI for the LAN side and attached it to the Cisco instance but I seem to be having a routing issue. Just need some guidance on the routing table and the security groups. Does anyone have a working solution for this in AWS with a site to site VPN they could share. The customers on premise phones will route via the VPN to the PBX. The SIP trunks will probably route via the on premise gateway.

 

does the vMX support vlans as one source says no and another says yes.

Personally, I would change the VMX deployment to VPN Concentrator mode (you need to delete and redeploy to make this change). Then you have a single interface, and the routing is straightforward.

In your VPC route table, add a static route that points to the VMX.

Hello

Thank you for your reply. So delete the Marketplace Meraki vMX from GCP. Then set it up in the dashboard as VPN Concentrator mode before deploying it? That about right? As this is in GCP, the vMX is in 10.10.0.0/24 and my PBX is in 10.10.1.0/24. Do I just add the PBX subnet to my add local network or both?

 

When it in VPN Concentrator mode, does this just use the default network on the meraki and not vlans as they get disabled.

 

Will I have to rebuild the on premise mx67 if changing to VPN Concentrator mode? Why does it need to be redeployed when changing modes?
