      @JaredBusch I also have multiple subnets on both sides of the VPN.

        HI guys

        I too moving from Meraki to ER4. Meraki MX60 works but its under powered so my internet speeds and VPN sucks. Is there anyway to easily move configurations from Meraki to ER4?

            @scottalanmiller Yeah I search for a while found nothing. What are your suggestions for VPN on the ER4. Should I have a VPN Vlan or could I just drop in on my main network? Thanks

                    You generate the RSA key on each unit with this command.

                    generate vpn rsa-key bits 4096

                    It will output the >>>>>>snip big long keytext<<<<<<< that you need for each location.

                      @JaredBusch This is very detailed. I am going through it, thanks. Should have mentioned my needs, VPN for a few stuff as needed. I will be setting up few vlans namely default, phones, camera, guest, staff(internet only), IT etc. I know the meraki has a VLAN for VPN clients so wondering if I should have the same on the ER4?

                        So the question is... is the VLAN useful to you? Having a VLAN for VPN clients is perfectly fine, it gives you a chance to limit access to the entire VPN connected group of machines no a network level (basically makes three tiers... internet, VPN, and LAN.) Do you have limits that you will set, or will you simple route the VLAN to the LAN defeating its purpose?

                        If you are just going to route, then the VLAN serves no purpose. If you are going to treat it like a DMZ and limit the access to only a few services on the LAN, then it can be very useful.

                          That was for site to site connections.

                                @JaredBusch I saw that, sure the info will come in useful for future projects . This weekend hopefully I can move to the ER4 with no major issues. All I am left to do is move firewall rules across/ port forwards to the ER4 and setup VPN.

                                  I appreciate the config @JaredBusch this'll come in handy when I deploy ER's on both sides.

                                  For now I'm still searching for a solution: ER (on one side) <--> Meraki MX (on the other side).

                                      And then change the IKE and ESP sections from the last post to match WTF ever the Meraki uses.

                                        I'll give that a try.

                                            That previous error was due to copy/paste issues.

                                            Here is the error I'm getting:

                                            [ service nat ]
NAT configuration error: rule type not specified/valid
