The local status page has been saying cannot reach Cloud, No Internet etc. but all other devices have Internet. Same issue at a colleague's house. Then he left it alone for a handful more hours ,and it started working without intervention. Very strange but resolved..

I have a case opened and uploaded the support bundle. I have another guy taking it home to attempt to see if he has better results. If not, yeah, I will do a packet capture.... will need to add an in-line device to do that, but good idea.

I have a new Meraki MX68 and all it does is go to the orange/amber light after cycling through the rainbow colors. I tried it at work then to have a simpler network, I took it home and tried uplinking it to my Ubiquiti, which is a basic NAT router, so it provides something like 192.168.1.0/24 with DHCP between 192.168.1.100 and .149 I have tried both Internet ports, different cables. Tried holding the reset pin for 10 seconds (it actually restarts before then and I keep holding). I verified if I plug the Internet cable into another device (laptop) that it instantly pulls an IP from DHCP, and the laptop works. I tried a static IP on the laptop in the same range, which also worked for the laptop. I logged on the web interface and put in the same static IP configuration using DNS 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 ... no change. I am 100% sure my connection is Direct (not PPPoE) and that I am not using any 802.1q VLAN tags for this. I tried leaving it overnight too... Any ideas? I have never run into this problem before to this extent. I have seen behavior like this before, but it resolved on its own in a few hours of sitting.

Thank you all. That is what I needed to read. This looks easier than the Green Lake HPE Aruba I just setup in DUO

Is there any risk if I do SSO logon with Meraki that I get locked out, or do the other built-in Administrator accounts still work?

This worked perfect. I created a separate VLAN to carry MX2 to the same HA Active/Passive Pair of Palo Alto 5420 firewalls. What I did was add another VLAN on the firewall rack switch, which is Layer-2 to the core (Layer-3). Anyway the two switches are Cisco 9500-48Y4C in StackWise Virtual, and an LACP link to each firewall is created for redundancy already. I added the new VLAN and carried the firewall to the other MX #2 on the other 9500 chassis because MX units don't do LACP, so I have one per switch. Ultimately two separate VLANS for two separate MX units. Each MX has a separate /29 subnet too in case I ever want to add VRRP (unlikely). The Layer-3 is that I use an IP at one end on an interface on the firewall and the other end on the Meraki. The FW interface is ae3.1898 and ae3.1899 of course carried by those two VLANS LACP to the switch stack that then delivers them via one link to each MX. I crated one (1) BGP Peer group on the PA then added a second Meraki simply as another peer. Both of the Meraki units have the same AS as each other and the firewall has a different AS. This Meraki setup is active/active and it is working perfectly. I can change the preferred SD-WAN Hub order in the Meraki cloud, and it updates the firewall using BGP prepending. My Meraki setup is 64512, so the less preferred hub becomes 64512, 64512

I would like to do Active/Active on two MX105 units. Currently I have only one unit configured and it is running 192.168.9.0/29 with a Palo Alto having .1 and the Meraki having .6. It has a friendly 1:1 NAT to the Internet assigned a Public IP, and both it and the firewall are doing BGP on our WAN Vsys. The FW has a different BGP AS number. *** My understanding is that I just need to do iBGP, so because our Meraki units should just be the same ASs 64512. Can someone confirm if that should work? I will just make another private subnet and 1:1 Public NAT for the other Meraki, so both can reach the cloud.
