Hi Guys, I am setting up a new Core Switch for our branch site. It's a MS-350. I have finished connecting the switch to DHCP, updated the firmware and stacked it. I am just confused about the Native VLAN, Management VLAN and Uplink VLAN. I have a Sophos XG as a firewall, we wanted to go for the MX but it doesn't support SSL VPN. Anyway, I created a Uplink VLAN 201, this VLAN interface will be used to connect to the Sophos Firewall. So the default route should be going to this VLAN interface. I also want to change the native vlan from 1 to 500. I have also created a Management VLAN 202. My question / confusion is, do I need these core switches IP Address to be on the Uplink VLAN or Management? Because when I set the Core Switch IPs to Management VLAN, connectvity to the internet and dashboard drops. But when I set the IPs to ones that belong to the Uplink VLAN, connectivity goes up. I just want to know what the best practice is for Meraki. For Cisco IOS, we typically just change the Native VLAN, enable l3 routing. Configure one interface as an uplink, then just point the default route to the interface that goes to the FW and it's all good. I tried to call support but I was on hold for 30 mins. I will try to call them back again tomorrow. Thanks! Desmond
