yesterday
I changed the static IP from the dashboard while I was connected to WAN 2 (solid white light). Then I waited about 2 minutes, and on the dashboard it said config up to date. Then I disconnected WAN 2, and connected WAN 1 (fiber), but I got a solid amber.

I finally got fiber for internet, so I changed the IP settings on Meraki MX WAN 1 to the new fiber. I kept WAN 2 on our current coax setting. On the dashboard it said config up to date. When I connected the cable from fiber to WAN 1, it changed colors, but then it eventually went to a solid amber instead of a solid white light. I had to restart the MX couple of times, change the IP on WAN 1 to something else, save it, put in the fiber IP again, and saved it. Then I got a solid white light. Any idea why this happened?

I'm Tony. I'm working as an IT Systems Administrator, so I do a mix of networking, Powershell, Active Directory etc. I've used Meraki at my past jobs, but this is my first time managing a network. So far it's all good. A little fun fact about me is that, I have my commercial pilot's license, and I'm a US Army veteran, I used to work on Boeing Apache helicopters as a crew chief. See my avatar.

@NolanHerring Before I found this, I was going to have one custom made by our shop metal people.

@NolanHerring Same here. I guess if you're good with 3D printing, you can always 3D print one.

yeah, I guess you can see the MX status light. Interesting. I guess the other vendor gave me the wrong info and said that's to show the power supply status.

I guess if I'm that paranoid, I could just use a small flexible mirror to see the MX status lights :)

I chatted with their sales person, and she said that light is to show the status of the powersupply, not the MX68 status light. So you know the MX68 is turned on.

@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.
