Update: Strangely again, it started working today, and looking at the dashboard, the order of port forwarding rules has changed with the port 444 placed first....hmm Steve

I have a strange config issue here Internal web server with a few sites accessible via https 443 from specific IP's name uplink protocol public port Lan IP local port allowed remote IPs webserver Both TCP 443 192.168.1.1 443 a list of 20-30 ip's for access & pingdom etc. All works fine, website is IP restricted and operates as it should internally and externally from the remote IPs listed. I now want to add a different port forward for another service, this is using a different port, and works fine internally but not from external, UNLESS the external IP is in the previous port forwards allowed remote IP list name uplink protocol public port Lan IP local port allowed remote IPs status Both TCP 444 192.168.1.1 444 Any It seems the first entry allowed remote IP's overrule the subsequent allow list, even when configuring a different local IP the Any IP doesn't work, but the previous list does... I might be missing something here but logically it should work. PS I know I can add multiple 1:1 NAT's but need to know about this. Thanks Steve

Hi If that is an acceptable config then that would work for me, saves paying fo the additional IP block. (which I had to put on hold anyway due to a change freeze). Steve

Currently I have dual diverse fibres to the building each to a router with a /29 subnet on presented on ports 1 & another /29 subnet on port2. in an Active / Active configuration. All 4 ports connect to a layer 2 switch and from this switch is connected the primary MX85 with WAN ports 1 & 2 configured the same as the router ports in load balance mode. The MX85 is connected to the switch stack via two LAN ports I want to add a warm spare MX85 to this network, and would use the MX Uplink IP method. My ISP is adding a third /29 subnet on Port 3 of the routers, and documentation suggests I can configure WAN1 of the warm spare to this subnet. (Gamma share all 3 subnets across the two fibres) Have I understood this right and is this the correct configuration?

Thanks all for the info and help Just had info back from Gamma, each has two ports as per diagram. (they) say the L2 switch is required for the VRRP packets, but I wonder if they couldn't just use an interconnect between each for VRRP... something I will discuss with their tech support. Still I guess I can add another L2 switch and link them together across two ports each letting STP stop the loop.

isn't the 5 port switch a single point of failure? or have you two one for each router? The Internet is by Gamma using OpenReach diverse Plus fibre routes and they own up to the ports of the OneAccess routers.

Not sure on the OneAccess routers yet as they haven't been delivered, BT are outside blowing the new fibre in as we speak.. The supplier is Gamma and its their network & BGP. I think the only time we need a specific ip address outbound is for access to our website management portal but I think we could add the second IP to that access list.

Currently I have a simple network, BT Fibre + vDSL to a MX85 and a MS Switch Stack Our ISP is upgrading us to a diverse routed pair of fibre connections via a pair of routers with VRRP terminating in a L2 switch (actually a Meraki Go 24 port switch) I am also adding a MX85 warm spare (was going to be much later on but was delivered early) Is it best just to follow the configuration guides and connect to the switch on both ports of each MX85 to the L2 switch and Lan ports to the Switch Stack With the new fibre install I have 3 IP's per subnet, and I would lose another 1 of each subnet if I went the virtual IP VRRP method with the MX's Is there a way to miss out the L2 switch and go direct from routers to MX's? anyone suggest the best way to do this, (or simplest as I am by no means expert)

Hello, we have a small network, with two switch stacks, and are due to add a third stack (or just 1 switch), each cabinet is in different buildings, but the buildings are joined together. I am asking what is the best resilient method to interconnect the switch stacks, I would have thought a triangle, but that would introduce a layer 2 loop? I read someone's reply to another question regarding which switches to connect from/to, and if so can you aggregate across different switches in a stack? Currently I have used 2 Fibre ports on ms225-1 connected to ms225-5, should I have gone 1-5 and 4-7 ? and should I go 1-8 and 4-9? or is that a bad idea.? It all works at the moment, but is there a better way? Steve

Tnx I have scheduled an upgrade To anyone who uses Altaro, and especially Offsite Backup, do NOT add Peer to Peer in your Layer 7 rules (on the MX) as NBAR blocks most packets on TCP ports 35100 and up which will affect both offsite backups and especially Replication. I have removed this rule and now my replica's are replicating. 🙂 Steve

We use Altaro VM backup on our network and actively use Altaro Offsite server. This uses TCP ports 35100 and higher. This has become very unreliable of later and replication now fails. I did notice these events and wonder if it is connected; Destination Port 35116 Protocol TCP NBAR ID1889 Classification Statistical Peer-To-Peer Layer 7 firewall rule Deny seems I might have to remove this rule from my MX Steve

Hi yes, changed patch cables both ends, and switch port, and switch, and patch panel port and outlet. Had fixed wiring checked using a very expensive Fluke cat6a infrastructure test rig.

No I haven't reverted firmware yet and I will raise a new ticket if no-one has experienced similar problem and has a resolution. Steve

Current version: MS 10.45 I haven't done that yet as it would power cycle many telephones as well, god forbid people have to log back into the phone system again 😉 We also have another HP printer, of a similar but not same model in another building, similar switches in a stack and the same happens there, also a dumb switch fixed the issues.

Hi all, Meraki MS225 stack, CAT 6a, two HP Printers, both office jet types but different models and ages. Several staff members mentioned the printers were slow to start printing, checked them out and couldn't find anything obvious, but the switch showed brown on the ports the printers were connected to. (error message was high proportion of Ethernet collisions) Switched ports, and the error followed, switched, switches and same again, had the networking company in to test the outlets and patch cables, all error free. Doubting both printers had same fault I placed a dumb switch in between the Meraki switch and the printers, voila, all issues fixed. Now I did try all the usual duplex, half duplex, fix speed etc on the Meraki port, but no changes, and it hasn't happened before in the two years the switches were in, so I am surmising a firmware upgrade might be to blame, so I am waiting till the next one and will take out the dumb switch and check again. I am posting this in the hope that someone has had similar issues and knows the fix. Cheers Steve

Not Solved! I have reproduced this phenomenon on our production network, almost every windows 10 laptop produces two distinct device entries, these entries have different management capabilities so you need both the make the most of MDM. But I cannot see how this could be an acceptable solution, its a kludge to me, but workable and messy. Regards Steve

Could I use a Lan address to the Wan port on a Z3. Its for a home with detached office, the home has a BT hub, the office is the other end of a 1Gb fibre link (with converters), the Z3 will be connected to the Head Office via VPN, I don't really want to change the house kit if I can help it. Internet -> BT Hub -> Port 1 -> House Lan -> Port 2 -> 1Gb Fibre Converter -> FO Cable -> Finre Converter -> Z3 -> Office Lan The office lan on a different Nat subnet, the tunnel passes via BT hub to Head office and ignores all the X boxes and iPads etc in the house I don't think the BT Hub can do transparent mode Regards Steve

Hi and thanks for your reply. I am restarting this thread up again, as I still have the same issue, and have tested a few more scenarios default vlan 1 for all infrastructure, mx64 dhcp Lan on vlan10 dhcp via windows server wireless ssid 1 , L3 roaming, access to lan and internet filtered by the normal content filter, can be overridden by group policy wireless ssid 2, Meraki DHCP, no access to lan, access to internet filtered by the normal content filter, cannot be overridden by group policy OR client whitelisting. I have tried windows laptop and android clients, same effect, it seems that the Meraki DHCP ssid which is perfect for our staff to use their personal phones, where they have no access to the LAN or each other but would like unfettered access to internet. Unfortunately the content filter is always applied. The content filter is used on the LAN and other SSID's with L3 roaming to restrict approved devices (i.e. non personal phones) yet I can apply whitelisting or group policies on various clients which can easily bypass the content filter. However, I think I found the answer Created a new VLAN with group policy attached to override the content filter Created a new staff SSID, used L3 Roaming, tagged to the VLAN and denied access to LAN seems to have fixed it.

Yes I have seen that, and despite it having the same label "Content Filtering" its is I think a different animal I have tried a few settings but not had any success bypassing the MX content filtering JUST for clients of 1 SSID Steve

I like that idea, not sure how to apply a GP to the management vlan though, all our infrastructure is on the same default vlan, the data/phone and cctv vlans are separate though
