Interesting, do you think if we don't use a shared HA mode and instead just do basic failover the MX's have less chance to have a bug or not come online? The TP Link switch is unmanaged and no spanning tree. The upstream device from that is your typical ISP WAN modem. If we didn't have the second Ubiquiti network I would have had no idea if this was MX or ISP issue. But because the Ubiquiti router came right up the information points to the MX's.

Agreed, unfortunately we were in 911 mode. I had no technical person onsite and was able to get someone to reboot the firewalls.

Hey Meraki Community, I want to pick everyone's brain on an issue we had running Firmware 14.53 on 2 MX 84's in HA. WAN 1 into TP Link edge switch Edge switch into Ubiquiti firewall (separate network) Edge switch into MX 01 (100% Meraki network) Edge switch into MX 02 (100% Meraki network) MX appliances are in HA in shared IP mode Issue: We have a power outage for about 30 minutes. When power came online edge switch and Ubiquiti network came back online. The MX devices did not. They were not passing any traffic and not checking into dashboard. We had to send someone down to power cycle devices which brought them back up. We have since upgraded to firmware 15.42 however Meraki support couldn't provide any reason why this happened.

If I change WAN 2 from Static IP to DHCP all of a sudden I can get client VPN to work. If I change it back to static IP, or use WAN 1, it fails. Not sure what is different about DHCP but that doesn't fix issue because we use IP whitelisting and need our static IP's to work. So far on hold for Meraki support almost 1 hour and no answer... hopefully someone picks up soon 😞

Performing factory reset now on both MX devices to see if that does anything

Hey Community, Running into an issue where MX84 won't allow client VPN to connect. This issue is not client side as it will not work with Macs or Windows 10, and we can connect to other Meraki MX firewalls on same computers that can't connect to this MX84. Friday we replaced Fortigate with MX84's. When trying to connect to VPN the login screen doesn't even appear and we get error remote server not found. Meraki support's packet capture shows VPN tunnel completes phase 1 and completes phase 2 and then just drops. Steps completed: - Rebooted MXs - Removed MXs from HA mode with virtual IP to stand alone - Bypassed Edge switches - Tested with WAN 1 (Lumen fiber), same issue - Set WAN 2 (Cable modem) as primary WAN, same issue - Upgraded Meraki firmware to latest beta version - Power cycled WAN 1 and WAN 2 modems - Worked with both WAN providers support, they confirmed they don't have ability to block anything and just handing off internet - Confirmed traceroutes in and out of network show no other devices - WAN providers confirmed ARP tables are correct - Turned Client VPN on/off - Changed from AD to local Meraki authentication Running out of ideas and on hold for Meraki support again

Not sure on bug ID, but yes we opened ticket with support. At first they didn't know what it was, but a few minutes in other support reps started echoing our issue. Took about 6 hours but development team had to deploy a hotfix to the cloud tenant.

Around 11am PST our customers with the network objects feature enabled went offline for about 10 minutes. Once back online under SD-WAN on both VLAN and firewall pages no longer work. Visually it shows all rules deleted but any rules set prior to this bug retained the settings and are still working. Both have MX84 with HA. Has anyone heard of when this bug will be fixed?

Thanks for sharing, I didn't think there would be a work around. We replaced their Fortigate and the IT team is used to everything being blocked by default and you allow what you want. The concern they have is it opens up for human error to forget to block a new VLAN because everything is allow.

Hey Gurus, So we have a customer that is pushing hard for implicit deny. We spoke with Meraki support and they said they do support implicit deny, however in practice it doesn't work. That is because in order for a VLAN to reach the WAN, they said the destination must be set to ANY. So really for a VLAN to reach WAN it needs ANY which means it talks to all VLANs, are we are no where close to implicit deny.

We use TP-Link switches on the edge.. non managed of course. This was after days of troubleshooting with Cisco Meraki support they finally said it wasn't supported. I suppose there are ways to do it, but at that point we found non-managed switches on the edge worked best for us.

Check out my video on building high quality VoIP rules in the MX. Also in each MX, go to SD WAN & traffic shaping and add the public facing IP of your call manager server to check if packet loss is happening on the ISP WAN side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G57e4oQsHaw

Yeah I am starting to realize that. Meraki support doesn't think there is an option. The Juniper engineer on the phone was not impressed, couldn't believe Meraki can't route S2S traffic to WAN from anything but a Meraki. They are escalating this to product team to make sure nothing is missed here.

Ok so we have the tunnel up and here is what is happening: On Non Meraki VPN side: - Client can ping our MX and receive response back without issue - Client then attempts to access www.website.com but doesn't get a response back Any idea why Meraki is not routing the traffic back across the VPN tunnel?

Hey Meraki Community, How can I route traffic from a private subnet across a non-Meraki VPN out the WAN on our MX84? We have a handful of websites that compliance only allows our WAN IPs to access. We added a site to site VPN tunnel witih a non-Meraki peer which is up and working. The goal is the remote subnet attempts to access specific websites, the remote non-Meraki VPN peer routes that out the WAN on the MX so it has the allowed public IP. Is this possible?

No problem. Once you setup the SD-WAN settings, go to Google and search what is my IP and confirm it is on your new WAN connection. Once confirmed you are good to go.

Under SD-Wan and traffic shaping, set the network you want and set primary uplink as WAN 2 and it will work.

Yes, we are 100% meraki across the board, including switches. Good idea on Layer 3 rules. The switches are only layer 2. So you are saying, use Layer 3 firewall rules to limit it as much as possible to only what it needs? My main concern is a threat coming in where a malicious attacker gains access into the network through the web server and finds a way to hop over to another system. Is that a silly concern?

Hey Meraki Community, We have a Meraki MX67 and behind it is a new IIS web server going up. The vendor isn't using an SSL certificate and has asked us to make this available via port 80. Because the web server has to be accessed externally AND from within the office it is on the private VLAN to allow communication. What is the best way to secure this from a networking/Meraki standpoint? Thanks, BA

Hi Nash, Thanks, we have standard setup, not sure if split or full tunnel but will investigate. In this scenario, how would virtual appliances work? The reason we deployed Umbrella Roaming client is to protect laptops with content filtering while they are outside of the network and not connected to the VPN, which means no firewall security. The goal is to have Roaming Client on laptops so they have content filtering outside of the office, but these users also require VPN from time to time. Mabye we could create a script where event log shows VPN connected and it disabled Umbrella client and when event logs shows deactivated it re-enables it.
