Azure +Cisco Meraki+Azure route server

Mohammed Thahif BK 346 Microsoft Employee

Hello,
Do we have any approved pattern for Cisco Meraki on Azure with Azure route server and PA firewall?
We have a Hub n Spoke topology in 2 region and in each region we have Meraki+ARS+PA firewall.

Have someone attempted something likethis? Any reference architecture to follow.
Please help.

@Mohammed Thahif BK Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A.

I understand that you want to setup Azure Route Server with Cisco Meraki and PA Firewall. We do not have anything specific for Meraki+ARS+PA firewall setup at the moment. However, here is information on how ARS works with 2 NVA's in a Virtual Network which will give a generic idea regarding the setup. Hope this helps.

Please let us know if you have any further questions and we will be glad to assist you further. Thank you!

@SaiKishor-MSFT - it works fine if its a single region setup, things gets complicated due to multi region setup and Auto VPN feature of Meraki SDWAN. This results in multiple routes being learned. However we are testing some scenarios, will post once I have something.

@SaiKishor-MSFT We have a similar problem wherein we are trying to integrate Meraki VMX in Azure .

Topology - Meraki VMX Hub-> ARS -> PA Firewall -> Meraki Spoke MX

Problem Statement -> Peering with an Express Route and ARS in Azure DR Site is resulting in routes being diverted from Azure Production Site to our DR site

Changes Made : UDR routing tables in order for ARS to be seen by expressway gateway. On VMX we enabled peering to the ARS, This sent 3 routes to each ARS instance so 6 routes total. ARS sent many to VMX.

Please let us know if you come across a similar problem and would be able to help us fix the issue.
