Routing setup - Needing some advice.

Hi All,   So at the moment, we aren't running one of our MXs in routed mode, but we are going to be soon.   At the moment at this site, They have one WAN - Main Connection (MPLS - With Internet), We also have a separate connection (No internet access over this) to access provider services (This need's to be seen over the MPLS)   The current setup at the moment is all PCs have Static IPs (Two IPs's the WAN connection Subnet & Provider Services)   The current plan I've got is to put the MX in Routed Mode and use an L3 Device / Router in front of the Provider connection which has a LAN IP from the MX, I can create a Static Route to the Provider via that IP. Then for it to be seen over the MPLS, I can either put two dumb switches between both connections and connect them both or I some form of NAT'ing on the MX.   So I'm pretty much wondering if this is the best way to go about this or could I utilize a Meraki L3 Switch (L3 Interfaces?)    I should state, that changing the IPs on the provider services router is more hassle than it's worth... ...

Re: Meraki MX - No NAT - MPLS

I went ahead a set up the Meraki MX like this, we use the MPLS connection as our primary connection, so I added a static route for 0.0.0.0/0 pointing to the MPLS router.   I don't believe this is a setup that is supported by Meraki.   We began having routing issues, PC's thinking they arent connected to the internet, etc.   Any experience with a setup like that? Is it supported?     ... View more

Meraki MX - No NAT - MPLS

Hi, so at the moment we have multiple sites connected via MPLS, this is the only internet connection at each of the sites. We have the provider router in place, then our Meraki MX's in pass-through mode, so all they are doing at the moment is IDS/IPS, Content filtering, etc.   We are looking at having a backup connection, not provided by the same company our MPLS is provided by, we want to put the MX in routed mode, turn on No-Nat and use the MX as the gateway for each of the sites so that we can have both connections on the MX and it can do failover for us.   I have already got Meraki to enable No-Nat on the MX's and updated to the correct firmware, just trying to check my thought process really.   Not actual IP's below.   Site 1 - 192.168.1.0/24   Site 1 - Router - 192.168.1.1 Site 1 - MX - 192.168.1.241   I'm expecting that if I turn on routed mode, and No-Nat without changing anything on the router, I should only be able to see the router and the MX from another site, and nothing else behind the MX,   If I want that to work I would need a static route, on the router, I believe.   So the route should be - 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.1.241 - Correct?   With that route in place, I shouldn't need anything else I believe, I will be able to access resources on both sites each way?   Just want to check I'm not missing anything, and nothing else needs to be on the MX?   Another quick question, the MX has the IP of 192.168.1.241, there is also an option in MX Addressing and VLAN's, we want the VLAN's option enabled, but for now, we are only going to have one VLAN's, I'm right in thinking the IP for "MX IP" needs to be different to the main IP of the MX?   Any input would be great, just don't want to miss something stupid.   Many Thanks   Matt ...

MX - No Nat - MPLS

Hi all,   So we have a site with a single connection, onto out MPLS which connects our multiple sites, with one internet breakout handled by our ISP.   So i got Meraki Support to enable the No-Nat feature on our MX that was all good, put the MX is routed mode, and enable No-Nat one Uplink 1.   As soon as i enable that No-Nat on Uplink 1, Im getting no connectivity for anything behind the MX, the MX itself has got a connection.   Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue when setting up the MX on an MPLS or is it just me being stupid? 😕   Cheers   Matt   ...
