Hey, folks, it's Alex! I work as CIO in a materials testing institute. We are an SME with 80 employees spread over 5 locations in Switzerland. I am very IT affine and I am also very much occupied with technology and everything new which there is to discover. Our existing network infrastructure is very inhomogeneous, we use many manufacturers such as HP, Sophos, Netgear, Intel and Zyxel. As part of a consolidation project, we are converting everything to cisco meraki. We expect better availability, fewer support cases, easier manageability and a better overview of the network and the processes in it, which finally saves us money even though the equipment is more expensive. I am here to learn and on the other hand to contribute my knowledge to the community. Have a nice day! Alex ... View more

Hi guys Thank you for your answers, that has already helped me. On the WAN side I have an EdgeRouter at ISP 1. Currently there is only one port active but I can call the ISP and have a second port activated. ISP 2 has only provided me with a cable modem, I have to work with a WAN switch there. At ISP 1 I have 8 IP addresses (/28), ISP 2 provides me only one usable IP address (/30). So I also have to take care of it and make a phone call. Connection from MX to MS: Should the links be aggregated or should I configure it as individual links? @PhilipDAth The MX100 are used for inbound NAT as well as for client and site-to-site VPN. By outbound NAT do you mean the setting Security appliance -> Traffic shaping -> Flow preferences -> Internet traffic? There are some devices that should only communicate to the outside via a special ISP.(for reasons of upload speed) So yes, 2-3 settings will certainly be made here. I am switching from Sophos UTM220 (EOL) to Meraki and want to map the configuration to the Meraki firewall 1:1 before putting it into operation. ... View more

Connect two MX100 to MS425 Stack

Hello Community I want to connect two MX100 which are operated as Active/Pasive with a switch stack consisting of two MS425-32. L3 Routing is enabled on the MS425 Stack. I have read the documentation, unfortunately I could not find out how best to connect and configure this configuration. It is clear that every MX100 must be connected to both MS425s. According to the documentation, a direct connection must be established between the two MX for the heartbeat, but as the MX do not support spanning tree protocol, I am not sure how to connect it. Does anyone have a wireing diagramm for me and can help me to configure the whole thing? Thanks in advance Alex   ... View more
