@cmr @CptnCrnch thank you both - that is reassuring that you have both had positive experiences with V15.x   Out of interest have either of you had cause to use the IKEv2 Route based VPN functionality with Azure?  ... View more

MX v15 firmware still in beta

We have a client that needs to used route based VPNs to Azure as they have multiple sites that need access to the same Azure tenant and quite understandably they don't want to pay the ridiculous cost of a vMX which is really just a VPN endpoint.     I am aware this functionality is only available in v15 firmware for the MX but this major version has been in beta I believe for more than 2 years. It nearly has the same number of revisions as the current "stable" V14 firmware!   Seems a bit ridiculous to me considering the pressure that has been put in Cisco Meraki to get route based VPNs working over the last 4 years (or more!).    My client and I are slightly nervous about deploying this firmware revision until Cisco themselves have enough confidence to classify it as stable. Does anyone have any idea of a timescale or is it still unknown?  ... View more

@AmelieS - does this update fix the issue with inaccurate location for Android devices? We have a client with 100 Android Tablets and they cant tell where any of them are right now! There are a long list of other bugs and problems with Meraki MDM - at the moment I can't recommend it to anyone.  ... View more

@Andrew3  Based on the information we have so far - yes. In fact its probably best to call them as they need to enable IKEv2 manually and I'm assuming it would probably be sensible to be talking to someone so you can test it there and then - apparently there is nothing in the GUI yet.   15.13 is new - released on Friday by the looks of it - still no mention of IKEv2 in the write up...  ...

That's positive news. I guess we are kind of making information public here.... Anyway - is anybody able to give it a try? I've got an MX64 here but no time to do it! ... View more

@Andrew3  Based on the info Meraki Support have given me - yes - 15.12 has it but you will also need to call in to get them to enable a "back end" feature. It will be interesting to see what sort of response you get - it seems the advice from Meraki Support is a bit mixed at present.  ... View more

Not yet - haven't got a non-production MX available at this moment in time. Should have something to play with a couple of days. ... View more

Just to flesh this response out a little bit - I've asked Meraki tech support and specifically IKEv2 support is available in MX Wired 15.12 and above. They have also said that for IKEv2 to work would require adding a back end feature. I assume this means manually activating something in the specific MX cloud account so perhaps the configuration options are visible. I'm assuming that we will need to get them on the phone to get this firmware applied and IKEv2 features activated. The usual caveats surrounding the fact this is very early Beta firmware also apply - you'd be brave to run this in a production environment.    We have a client using Azure to host Microsoft Navision. They have 3 sites utilising an MX84 at the head office and two MX64s at the remote sites. Currently the MX84 connects to Azure using an IKEv1 non-meraki peer which works perfectly for that site, but as is well documented the problem we have is that the non-peer route isn't advertised to the neighbouring MX64s - so no one at the two remote sites can access Navision over the Meraki Auto-VPN links and you can't have multiple IKEv1 connections to Azure. Not wanting to spend money an a vMX100 which would only be used to terminate the VPN we've worked around it till now using the Client VPN feature - users at the two remote sites that need access to Navision simply "dial in" to the MX84. Of course that does make the two MX64s somewhat redundant for those users!  So yes, we've been waiting patiently for this feature too and I think it should be a source of embarrassment that its taken this long to implement it when cheaper less functional firewalls in the Cisco range have had it for a long time. Cisco Meraki is shown as "Not Compatible" when it comes to the list of site to site Azure VPN Gateway devices on Microsofts website - equally embarrassing I feel given the target market for these devices.  You can't help but feel this has been a commercial decision to force people into buying the vMX100.  Anyway there is finally light at the end of the tunnel it seems - lets see how quickly MX 15.x is rolled into release candidate status and IKEv2 is finally a standard feature.  ...
