MX-100 1:many NAT not working as expected

Posted on October 23, 2020 - October 23, 2020 by vrpc

1:many NAT on MX-100 not usable for zoom connector or barracuda spam firewall

I have discovered that the 1:many meraki NAT implementation will always send outgoing traffic on the primary public IP instead of the IP assigned to the 1:many NAT rule.
 
I have spend hours on trying to find out why I am not able to use these two NAT services:
 

  1. zoom meeting connector which should  be  possible to configured using 1:many NAT unfortunately not on meraki MX-100 device:
    https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/204898919-Configure-Meeting-Connector-Controller-Port-Forwarding
    The solution to this is not to use 1:many NAT rule and use 1:1 NAT unfortunately this will require two public IPs or more if you add other zoom on-premise services.
     
  2. barracuda spam firewall and exchange server.
    I decided to offload some traffic from the barracuda firewall for traffic which is not related to SPAM checking and use the build in 1:many NAT instead of 1:1 on the MX-100.
    This resulted in outbound email be send using the primary IP instead of the assigned 1:many NAT
    This will result in SPF verification to fail and outgoing email be rejected from outside servers.
    Had to revert back to 1:1 NAT and deal with occasional overload on barracuda firewall due to web traffic.
     
    cheers

Cooling the datacenter

Posted on June 10, 2011 - April 24, 2017 by vrpc

If you had to work in air-conditioned datacenter and or directly next to it you know how much noise all the machinery can generate.
To be green it would be nice to setup datacenter with low energy consumption servers with passive cooling as well as no air-conditioning.

this solution should help with the no air-conditioning cooling part: http://arstechnica.com/business/news/201…nology.ars

And this is Facebook approach: http://www.matternetwork.com/2011/4/face…server.cfm
