@Richard_Velox wrote: We're a small WISP that's been allocated a small sliver of IPv4 addresses and we're a little stingy about needlessly allocating them; Also the scheme is incredibly flexible. Most vendor's routers work with this allocation scheme like Sonicwall, Unifi, Cisco-Linksys, AirCube, some Edgerouter, Watchguard, some? Asus, Fortigate) and others need 1:1 NAT like PFSENSE, Meraki, Luxul. Routing between towers is accomplished using OSPF. An event triggered script can add the route or it can be added to the configuration. Gateways have IPs in the 100.64.0.0/10 range. Have you tried the "asking ARIN for an IPv6 allocation and a wee bit of IPv4 to help with your transition" trick? 😉 Assuming ARIN is your people!   @MerakiDave and his friends might be able to give us a conclusive answer. But I suspect that if it hasn't worked before, you're going to have to stick with providing NAT to your customers.   How's using that space been working for your customers? Have you got yourself setup so they can use VPNs, or nah? I'm eternally curious about WISPs! ... View more

@Network-dad is correct if you're using AutoVPN.   If you're using third-party tunnels, between devices that aren't in the same organization, you can set the tunnels using the dynamic IP... but you're going to have to update that config as the IP changes over time. ... View more

@webfrank wrote: Hi, you can use a third party application to perform a full organization/network backup/restore.   Disclaimer, I work for V-App.io which has a Cloud Network Backup application specific for this task   It's not correct to state that you can perform a "full" restore, based on the limited endpoints we've got. (Not a criticism of the API team - they add stuff constantly, and it takes time to build/test!)   If you've got L3 routing going on via Meraki switches, you've got to recreate that manually. OSPF?

There are things w Meraki switches that you may view as advantages, such as having the pretty dashboard to track your clients' traffic from switchport to firewall. But it's definitely not necessary. I've got clients using Brocade copper, Netgear, Cisco, Cisco Small Business, Trendnet, and at one point Alcatel-Lucent behind MX.   The MX was fine. ... View more

That's true, but I admit to really hating this solution. This is partly because my clients always creep into wanting exceptions for this place but not that one, and I have to implement them.

If I knew for sure that I did not want templated changes on my switches/firewalls, regardless of whether or not I could use a wifi template on a combined network... I wouldn't. I don't like the risk of changes rolling out on equipment that needs to remain unique.   So what can you do?   I see two options: Split each location's wireless network off into an individual network, leaving your other Meraki equipment in a combined network. Apply template to these individual wireless networks. Problem: You lose easy visibility through the stack. Problem: That's potentially double your networks, which is a mess. Use the API to copy-paste SSID changes across your networks every time you need to make a change. This also allows you to exclude networks if you run into a case where Networks A - F need a change, but Network G doesn't.   I'd go the API route, because I prefer to do things with code. I have in fact gone the API route. It's pretty easy.  ... View more
