Cisco Meraki - L3 MS & MX Configuration

In this video, I will guide you through the setup and configuration of a layer 3 switch with an MX. We will be creating VLANs on the Meraki Switch and ensuring proper communication between the switch and MX. By the end of the video, you will have a clear understanding of the setup and be able to replicate it.

Thanks for illustrating with the diagram ❤ I loved it . Great job

Thanks for the video, it was very helpful. The only thing I didn't catch was setting the static IP/vlan on the MS itself, but I was able to fill in the blanks. Cheers!

Thanks, helpful video. Why did you leave VLAN 1 on the MX? Also, why have the VLAN 5 MGMT VLAN on the MX at all? You didn't add VLAN 5 to the L3 switch, and can't you use the transit VLAN interface on the MX as MGMT (or just use VLAN 1 as the MGMT VLAN across the board)? Also, would love to see Meraki add full OSPF support on the MX so we can get rid of this static routing nonsense.

Thanks for the video. I just have one doubt, what about inter vlan routing, can sales and finance talk to each other with this config on MS? Do they require transit gateway to talk to each other?
