Hi Our company runs an internal filmmaker pro server (database server). The server allows you to setup oAuth with several different vendors. Because we already use Google Workplace for our email and other services, it just makes sense to go with Google. So the computer runs on a local IP. I of course need to obtain a Google Client ID as well as Secret. But I need to have a redirect URL which will need to point to the server. If I'm understanding this right, I will need to open a port which directs to the local computer hosting the database server. I have created a subdomain on our cloudflare account to point to our fixed office IP which has a mx security appliance in front of it. Any tips on best security practices here since I don't think I can make a firewall rule to limit just to google's server. I know I can limit the port number for this. But I don't want everyone in the world to get access to this port number of a computer on my local network. Obviously I am a beginner here.

Thanks again. I would like to say for the record, that Meraki should have POE on at least a couple of the ports on the Mx84 for this very reason. I realize that the cellular ran on USB at one time, but if they offer a product that uses ethernet and POE, like the MG21, then they should have a solution on the security appliance to match.

Thank you for that answer. I started to work on this today and realized I might have a problem. I am wondering about my configuration. I would like to plug in my MG21 directly to my MX84 Security Appliance as a WAN2. However, for some reason the "bigger and better" security appliance I bought does not have POE. which means I would have to purchase a power source and makes this less appealing as this is for emergencies like when the internet goes out (and power goes out). I have backup electricity for all of my appliances. Anyways, I can plug it in to my MS220-48LP switch which can provide POE which plugs into my security appliance. Does this complicate the situation if I am trying to stick with POE to power my cellular gateway? Any thoughts? I also though of the possibility of using two wires. There are two ports on my Cellular Gateway. I could plug one ethernet cable into the WAN2 on the security appliance and the the POE port on the cellular gateway could be plugged into the switch for power.

Thank you!

I am posting here as I don't see any other topic area which covers cellular and I figured this is a setting for my network on my SD-WAN MX-84. Hi, I just received the MG21, got the license registered and the cellular SIM put it. All seems to be working. The only thing I am having a hard time with is finding out how to do the cellular failover. Maybe I am not seeing the proper documentation. But my needs are this. I would like the traffic to be directed through cellular only after a network failure of my main uplink (from fiberoptic link). I was told there was some sort of rules that could be set on the firewall. Any pointers to the info would be great. Thanks.
