I did not say Dual Stack was not possible, just that the original software was likely not designed with dual stack in mind.    It is always possible to redesign software, it just takes time to get it right.   -Dave ... View more

  I agree Meraki is behind the market for IPV6 compatibility.  That said, they have been implementing IPV6 on the MS and MR line, as well as getting the dashboard available by IPV6.   The MX is the toughest as it has the most IPV6 features to implement.  I do not know what the internal architecture is, but I am willing to bet it was not designed to be dual stack.   There is supposed to.be another IPV6 announcement in January, so it should come soon ...

My MX65 is showing average device utilization in the Summary email.   My clients are also showing it when I go to Org/Summary Report.  The clients have MX64, MX67, MX68 and MX84 firewalls.   - Dave ... View more

I am a Meraki Partner, and just got through installing a Meraki firewall, switch and access points at a school.   They were replacing a Fortinet firewall, HP switch and Aruba access points.  The installation went well and only got stuck when we hit undocumented items on the network.  The visibility that the Meraki Dashboard into your network is unparalleled by any other solution.   What the others have said about the lower cost of management beats the cost of hardware and licensing is very true.   Also, have you gotten a quote for the conversion?  Partners can help you determine what equipment fits your need, get you trial gear, sometimes aggressive pricing offer post sale support. ...

I was playing with split tunnel last spring.  I added a route statement in Windows 10 using the ID of the VPN connector and the subnet of the hosts on the other side of the VPN.   Traffic bound for the internet or my lan did not use the route statement, but traffic bound for the remote network did. ...

You would need to setup the MX64 with the same DHCP settings as the Netgear.   The SSIDs would be stay the same so there would be no change to the Netgear or to client devices.   Client devices would connect to the Netgear wireless and get their IP Addresses from the MX64.   You can setup this all wired and use the ports on both the MX and the Netgear.     ...

If you have multiple IP addresses, you can setup a DMZ port on the Fortinet and route one address through the DMZ.  You can turn off NAT and all inspection for that port. ... View more

You should be able to convert the Netgear to.a switch by plugging the uplink cable from the MX into any port of the Netgear except the WAN port.   If you want to use the WAN port as the uplink, you will need to turn the Netgear into passthrough mode. ... View more

1. Set up 3rd Party management for Device management in Google Workspace 2. Create a token and copy it. 3. In the Dashboard under Organization / MDM, choose Google authentication and paste in the token.   Once that is done, when someone adds their work email to their phone, SM will download and install automatically.  The end user will need to enroll the device so they will need the enrolment code.   There is currently a bug somewhere between Android / Meraki / Google Workspace that breaks this functionality in Android 11.   -Dave   ...

SonicWall recently announced MultiGig firewalls.  The TZ firewall 470 has 1.5 GBPS Threat protection throughput and Zero Touch deployment through their cloud based single pane of glass interface.  They are still missing the ease of use that Meraki has.   The tea leaves are pointing in different directions due to Covid19, but we will eventually go back to offices and MutiGig is becoming a reality.   -Dave ...

I had to put my old Sonicwall in front of my MX so I could join the beta for the MR.   One reason to start with the MR is that is Meraki has sold more MR devices than MS or MX.  So you are giving the most users IPV6.   Another reason is that the MX is most likely the most complicated.  It probably requires a new architecture.   - Dave ...

The Meraki line of hardware will have to support both IPV4 and IPV6 stacks.  Perhaps the MX beta is for a more modular stack based implementation of the current IPV4 code.   - Dave ... View more

I don't know about Verizon,  but I got my MG21 working on Google Fi. I got the data only SIM card from them and then had to enter the correct APN.  Once that was done, the MG21 connected.   Perhaps you should request a Data only SIM from Verizon and see if that works.   - Dave ... View more
