1 MX60 Overview

The Meraki MX60 is an enterprise router designed for distributed

deployments that require remote administration. It is ideal for network

administrators who demand both ease of deployment and a state-of-the-

art feature set.

1.1 Package Contents

There are 3 types of LED in MX60

•Power light: First one from the left.

•WAN light: Second one from the left.

•LAN lights: The four LEDs that are grouped together and

numbered 1 – 4.

1.2.1 LED Color Rules

•Solid Green: Fully operational.

•Flashing Green: Operational but operation in progress (e.g.

upgrade).

•Solid Orange: Attempting to establish connection.

•Flashing Orange: Alert indicating that device requires attention.

Dashboard will contain additional information about the alert.

1.2.2 Power-on Sequence

1. All lights will flash twice on power on.

6. WAN light will turn green when Internet connection detected.

7. WAN light will start flashing orange after 5 minutes, if a WAN

link is found, but there is no proper Internet connection.

8. LAN lights will turn green if any device is connected on the

LAN side or they will be off otherwise.

1.3 The MX60 Back Panel

1.3.1 Internet Port

The MX60 supports only one Internet / WAN connection.

1.3.2 LAN Ports

The MX60 has four LAN ports, called LAN 1, LAN 2, LAN 3, and LAN 4.

These ports can be connected to devices like computers, printers,

access points, or Ethernet switches.

1.3.3 USB Port

The MX60 has one USB 2.0 port. This port is reserved for future use.

1.3.4 Reset Button

A short press of 1s to 10s will force the device to delete its configuration

downloaded from the Dashboard and reboot. This will not remove the

locally configured WAN IP settings. A long press of > 10s will force the

unit into a full factory reset

2 Pre-Deployment Setup

2.1 Dashboard Settings

2.1.1 Setting Up a New Dashboard Account

Step 1: Create an account.

To manage Meraki networks through the Dashboard, you need to create

an account at http://dashboard.meraki.com.

Step 2: Add an MX60 to your account.

After logging into your account, click on “Configure” and then “Add

router.” Enter the order number or the serial number of the MX60,

choose a name for the router, and provide the router’s physical location

(in order to accurately place it on the integrated Google map or floor

plan). Click the “Add routers” button on the bottom of the page.

2.1.2 Using an Existing Dashboard Account

If you have an existing Dashboard account (organization) that you use

for Meraki wireless networks, you need to create a separate network in

the Dashboard for each MX60 that you plan to deploy.

You can use the “Network” pull-down option to create a new network

and add the MX60 serial number to the newly created network

2.2 Firewall Settings

If your MX60 will be placed behind a firewall, you will need to allow

outgoing connections on particular ports to particular IP addresses. The

most current list of outbound ports and IP addresses can be found here:

http://tinyurl.com/y79une3

2.3 Local Management Console

If you need to assign static IP to the MX60, you need to use the local

management console. The local console provides additional

connectivity status information, such as whether an upgrade is in

progress or the device is connected to the Internet.

To access the local management console, simply follow these

instructions:

1. Connect the router to a power supply.

2. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the MX60

through any of the LAN ports (by plugging one end of an

Ethernet cable into the client machine, and the other end of the

Ethernet cable into the one of the router’s LAN ports).

3. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the

router’s built-in web server by browsing to

http://setup.meraki.com.

4. Note that you do not have to be connected to the Internet to

reach this address, as you are simply connecting to a web

service running locally on the router.

5. In the event your ISP requires you to handle PPPoE

termination, this can be configured on the same local setup

page. Please specify the connection type as “PPPoE” and

provide the required username and password (if applicable) to

properly terminate the connection.

6. If your WAN uplink is on a trunk port, you will need to specify

the correct VLAN. To do so, please visit

http://setup.meraki.com and specify the correct VLAN tag ID to

allow your device to properly connect.

2.4 Network Settings

All Meraki MX60 devices must have an IP address. The following

section describes how to configure your local area network prior to

deploying a Meraki MX60. Please check with your ISP to make sure you

have the adequate Ethernet handoff device (e.g., T1, MPLS, ADSL or

Cable modem), as the MX60 only supports RJ45 Ethernet connectivity.

2.4.1 Router Mode: Gateway to the Internet

In router mode, the MX60 will provide network address translation

(NAT) services. Therefore it requires two IP addresses, one that is

recognized by the WAN interface and another that is recognized by the

LAN interface.

Internet (WAN) IP address settings:

By default the router will obtain the configuration for its Internet port via

DHCP. If this is compatible with your upstream Internet connection, no

local configuration of the Internet port is required.

Pre-Deployment Setup | 9

If you need to set static IP address for the Internet port, please follow

these instructions:

1. If you need to assign static IP address, connect to the

router’s local management console using the instructions

in section 2.3.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions to set up a static IP

address.

3. Now connect the Internet port on the router to your ISP

modem or the upstream device that is ultimately

connected to the WAN.

4. On your client machine, connected to one of the LAN

ports, go to http://dashboard.meraki.com.

5. Login to your account and go to the network that you

already created for the new MX60 (see section 2.1).

Confirm that your router is connected to the Dashboard

and that the status is online. If you have a problem, visit

the Meraki online knowledge base at:

http://www.meraki.com/support/.

6. You are now ready to begin monitoring your network

through the Meraki Dashboard.

LAN IP address settings:

These settings let you create a new local subnet that will be served

through the LAN 1 – LAN 4 ports of the MX60.

1. Using a web browser on the client machine (e.g., a

laptop), go to http://dashboard.meraki.com.

2. Login to your account and go to the network that you

already created for the new MX60 (see section 2.1).

Confirm that your router is connected to the Dashboard

and that the status is online.

3. Navigate to “Configure ->Router settings.”

4. Choose “Run NAT only” or “Run a DHCP server and

NAT.”

5. Choose a local subnet base address and subnet mask.

6. Choose an IP address for the MX60. Please note that if

you have chosen “Run a DHCP server and NAT,”

Dashboard will prepopulate the “Router IP” field with a

suitable IP address for the MX60. If necessary, you can

override the IP address with a choice of your own.

7. Set up your DNS servers. You can use settings for Google

DNS, OpenDNS, or provide IPs for custom servers.

8. To test your settings, refresh your laptop / desktop

network settings (e.g., simply disconnect the client device

from the LAN port of the MX60 and then connect it again).

If you have a problem, visit the Meraki online knowledge

base at http://www.meraki.com/support/.

9. You are now ready to begin monitoring your network

through the Meraki Dashboard.

2.4.2 Passthrough Mode

In passthrough mode, the Meraki MX60 is transparent to the rest of the

network. You should use passthrough mode if you don’t want your

router to provide NAT functions. In this mode, the router requires one

IP address in order to communicate with the Meraki Cloud Controller

Internet (WAN) IP address settings:

If you need to set static IP address, please follow the same instructions

for WAN IP configuration from the Router Mode section above.*
