Appendix E: Connecting a Meraki MX60 Router

The Meraki MX60 router should act as the DHCP server in this setup; the 6200-FX is simply the
WAN connection for the MX60.

Start by first connecting the 6200-FX to the WAN/Internet port of the Meraki MX60.

Wait for the MX60 device to verify that it has a valid Internet connection. This is reflected
by the WAN Connectivity LED on the MX60 (the light just to the right of the power LED)
illuminating solid green.

Navigate to the web UI of the MX60, which can be done either through the Internet WAN
access, or by connecting a laptop/PC to one of the MX60's LAN ports.

Ensure that the "Client addressing" configuration option is set to "Run a DHCP server". This
enables the DHCP on the MX60. Refer to the first screenshot below to see where this
configuration option is located.

If a bridge or switch device is being utilized in the LAN network of the MX60 (ex. a wireless
bridge device is connected to the MX60's LAN port to provide wireless connectivity), then
ensure that the "Client tracking" configuration option under "Addressing and VLANs" is set
to "Track clients by IP address". Refer to the second screenshot below to see where this
configuration option is located.
