@Nick I noticed the small hole in the rack. But, how does that connect to the status LED of MX? I'm looking at my MX68, and I don't see a way of connecting the light. I chatted with their sales person, and she said that light is to show the status of the powersupply, not the MX68 status light.

@NolanHerring Thanks, it looks like that way. I'm checking with the vendor. Do you know of any other MX68 rack mounts? I was going to have one of our mechanical engineers 3D print one for me before I found this.

This is the only MX68 rack mount I could find. It looks like from the picture, the ports are facing the front, is it possible to have the ports facing back so that the status LED is facing the front? Any other recommendations? https://www.rackmountsolutions.net/firewall-mounting-kit-cisco-meraki-mx68-rm-ci-t6/

On the MX, I changed the native VLAN from 2 to "drop untagged traffic", didn't change anything on the switch side. I'm getting the correct VLAN now.

@BrechtSchamp I do have trunk on MX and trunk on the switch. I think my problem is that I don’t have the same native VLAN on the switch side. Unfortunately, I need to wait till Monday to test.

@Nick No, that's the problem. I have the same config on the Juniper router, and I get dhcp.

@ww do you connect 1 port from the mx to one single switch? Yes, and the switch port is trunk, and the VLAN ports are access

May be I should set the native VLANs on the 3 MX ports to "drop untagged traffic", or make the ports on the switch trunk instead of access. https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Networks_and_Routing/MX_Addressing_and_VLANs Native VLAN (trunk mode only): Sets the Native VLAN for the port. All untagged traffic that comes in on this port will be treated as if it belonged to this VLAN. This can also be set to Drop Untagged Traffic.

@Nick I connected to port 3 (VLAN 2) on MX, and I got the VLAN 2 IP. Connected port 4 (VLAN 3) on MX, and I got the VLAN 3 IP, and port 5 (VLAN 4) on MX, and I got the VLAN 4 IP. So that looks correct. In the dashboard, this is what I have: port 3 trunk, native VLAN 2, allowed VLANs (all) port 4 trunk, native VLAN 3, allowed VLANs (all) port 5 trunk, native VLAN 4, allowed VLANs (all)

@Nick I could try other ports on the MX, I haven't tried that yet. This is an almost new MX, it's not even in production yet. I'm testing it. May be 2 months old. On each port you've set the native VLAN to the same as the switches? Yes Gateway for the VLAN is the MX unit? Yes

Or I have a bad MX! I have 3 VLANs, one trunk port per VLAN (allowing all VLANs). Same as on the Juniper router.

I did have the MX connected to the dashboard after I made the changes. So the dashboard says "configuration upto date" So, the MX should have the latest config. I can try connecting the MX to the internet, but I just thought since the dashboard says config up to date, it will work.

@kYutobi "I'm sorry if I'm not understanding you correctly but if you are asking me why the Juniper works and the MX doesn't would be because MX is "cloud" controlled and the Juniper can be configured from within it." So according to your reply, the MX does need connection to the cloud to work, even the LAN. Yes, I connect to the Juniper router and config the configuration using Putty. But, the MX of course is configured from the cloud.

The switches are Netgear. I have 3 VLANs on the Meraki, I'm expecting to get the correct VLANs on the switch also. To test it's not my switch config, I created the same VLANs on a Juniper router, and connected it to the same switch I was connecting the MX. When I connect a laptop to the switch while on Juniper, my laptop gets the correct ip depending on which port on the switch I'm connected to. But when I connect the switch to the MX, the laptop does not get any ip, instead I get the 169 loop back.

Ok, but why doesn't the switch get the config from MX, but on the MX dashboard it says "configuration upto date". The Juniper router I was testing (which have the same VLANs and trunk ports as the MX) works.

Does Meraki MX need connection to the Meraki cloud / Internet to work? I have a Meraki MX configured for VLANs, I connected it to our ISP, and I got the solid white light. When I logged into the dashboard, it says "config up to date". I disconnected it from the internet, and I setup my switches to see if works. The switches are not getting the correct VLANs. I created the same setup on the MX on a Juniper router, and when I connect the switch to the Juniper router, it's working. The Meraki and Juniper have the same exact configuration. So why doesn't the switches work when it's connected to the MX (not connected to Internet), but it works on the Juniper router (not connected to Internet)? I know the Juniper saves its config on the actual device and the MX does not. I don't understand. If MX only works when it has Internet connection, does that mean that if I loose Internet, the LAN stop working?

I have 3 VLANs on my MX68. Is there an advantage or disadvantage for making one port on the MX a trunk port for all 3 VLANs vs having individual ports for each VLAN?

Sorry for not being clear. I was asking about connecting Meraki router to a switch. The ports on the Meraki router is on trunk mode. Does the switches have to be ok trunk mode also?

Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum. I have the ports on the Meraki in trunk mode. Does the switch port need to be on trunk mode also? Can I make the switch ports access?

Thank you. I don't have the VoIP router and phones in place yet, but just wanted to know how it all comes together.

We’re looking at VoIP phones. Service is through Comcast. They’re using Edgemarc router for it. How would that work with the MX? Do I create a voice VLAN on the MX? Do I need a static route between MX and Edgemarc? The VoIP phones comes with 2 built in 1Gb switch ports, so cable goes from wall to a port on phone, then second phone port to computer. How does the phone ports know about VLANs? Is this something I need to configure on the phone? Also, im using Netgear switch. Not that it matters.
