Can you think of a good reason there's no an option to  alert for a port going to blocking state due to a loop / spanning tree issue?   ... View more

MX appliance - Bind AnyConnect to a specific WAN interface

by Captain in Security / SD-WAN
‎05-11-2023 01:17 AM

Hi,   Trying to achieve the following flow:   LAN Users              -> get access to www through WAN1 AnyConnect clients -> get access through WAN2   And without changing the primary uplink from WAN1 to WAN2 nor doing load balancing.    WAN1 is behind a firewall which is blocking IPsec protocols. There's no way to ask the provider to change that.  but it is the ISP circuit with the higher bandwidth therefore the preferred one to route all lan users traffic to reach www.    WAN2 has no firewall and IPsec tunnels can be established, but has less bandwidth which is not suitable using to route users through it to reach www.    The only way I managed to get the AnyConnect working is when I change the primary uplink and set it as WAN2.   How can I achieve this?    Thanks in advance...   ...

Hi,   When working with a wired connection sometimes I see that the network adapter (windows 10) changes its name according to which network it is connected to - marked in red on the picture below.     How can I create a network using the MX and broadcast a different desirable text to appear in there? My guess is by using some DHCP option but now sure which one?     Best Regards, Ale.   ... View more

  Do I need to have both bands 2.4GHz and 5GHz enabled for WiFi 6 to work properly.   Please note that my question is regarding WiFi 6 and not WiFi 6E.   If i have an area which I have disabled 2.4GHz due congestion and left only with 5GHz enabled then    * Would I be able to use WiFi 6 at all?    * Any cons (affecting wifi6...) due of 2.4GHz is disabled?    * How can I check if a client is connected using WiFi6?     Thanks in advance for all helpers! ...

Dear Members,   Trying to update an access point device management interface by using the function     import meraki dashboard = meraki.DashboardAPI(api_key="my_api_key") payload = {"wan1": { "usingStaticIp": False, "vlan": "100" } result = dashboard.devices.updateDeviceManagementInterface(serial_key, payload) print(result) The result is the following output:     updateDeviceManagementInterface() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given   Process finished with exit code 0       When running the function below   result = dashboard.devices.getDeviceManagementInterface(serial_key) print("Device Management Interface:") print(result)   The result is the following output:     Device Management Interface: {'wan1': {'usingStaticIp': False, 'vlan': None}}     It looks like I am using the correct structure but it doesn't work.     This are the arguments that the function expects:     Can you please help me find and correct it?        Best Regards, ...

Help with L2TP/IPSec VPN using FortiClient software

by Captain in Security / SD-WAN

‎08-16-2020 06:30 AM
Dear forum,     One of our clients manages all his connections in one place so he doesn't need different solutions for different sites. (makes sense to me) the software he is using is called Forticlient VPN.   Does anyone knows if it is possible to configure Forticlient VPN in manner to connect to a client to a site that uses  MX64?   I have couple of users there all working well when VPN client is configured in Windows built in mechanism. However I was unable to find how to copnfigure the Forticleint VPN nor find info on the web.  If it is possible at all - then main issue seems to be that I have no clue how the advanced settings should be set.  - see below screenshot of advanced settings.              ...

Hi,   I've created a policy group and tested.    Is it correct the rule "*" I've applied which is intended to block all URLs except google.com?       When testing and connecting with an iphone to the SSID with vlan 532:   1. i can't see any clients affected by the group policy... it shows 0 2. The connected client is able reach any URL so basically it doesn't work.         If I go to clients I can see the client is connected to vlan 532:     Any idea what's wrong?       ... View more

Okay.   Sorry this is not clear:   The limit set in Bandwidth -> use custom bandwidth limit  Is applied per entire vlan ?  or  Per each client connected in that vlan?   To me it seems like it is per entire vlan... I am looking for how to limit per client in a vlan.   Let's say I have a vlan called "wiredGuests" with vlan id 100 or whatever...  I would like to limit that entire vlan to 10/10 Mb   and for each client within that vlan wired connected - as well limit to 1/1 Mb      Best regards ...

Hello RaphaelL,   Thanks for your reply showing towards the correct way.   I am able to read all devices from the organization->network-> inventory list. Then iterate over device list and find the device with the location address that need to be changed.    In this case I am looking for any device that it's address is = "old Address"   For a reason I can't understand it is updating the new location address in the device['name'] attribute instead in the device['address'] attribute.   In the printout below you can see the device['name'] before posting is 'P1234'  and after posting it changes to "new Address" when actually expected that the device   name remains 'AP1234'  and the device address is changed from 'old Address' to 'new Address'   Not sure why it is updating the wrong attribute. Can you tell?         from meraki import meraki apikey = "3***5" orgid =  "6***4"   newaddr = "new Address"   # Return your inventory deviceList = meraki.getorginventory(apikey,orgid)   #Iterate over all devices in network for device in deviceList:       # Check if the device['model'] contains string "MR" # If it does then it is an access point. (it could be MS/MX/MV...)     if "MR" in device['model']:           # Get the device info that contains the address         deviceinfo = meraki.getdevicedetail(apikey,device['networkId'],device['serial'])           # Print per each item the name, mac and current addresss         print("Device name: " + str(deviceinfo['name']))         print("\tMAC: " + str(deviceinfo['mac']))         print("\tAddress: " + str(deviceinfo['address']))           # Check if the device matches your old address         if "old Address" in deviceinfo['address']:               # Print address value as stored in deviceinfo['address']             print("Address as stored in 'address' attribute before assigning new value to it:" + str(deviceinfo['address']))               # Assign new address to deviceinfo['address']             deviceinfo['address'] = newaddr             print("Address as stored in 'address' attribute after  assigning new value to it:" + str(deviceinfo['address']))               # Save changes             postnewaddr = meraki.updatedevice(apikey,deviceinfo['networkId'],deviceinfo['serial'],deviceinfo['address'])                # Print Post result             print("Post result: " + str(postnewaddr))   Best regards,.    ...
