Combine two locations into one

slarson — Sat, 25 May 2019 13:50:48 GMT

I have two separate locations, under one dashboard, each using a single MX64W. I'd like to treat it as one network with shared group policies, security and same devices between locations etc. - simply management across both locations. There are no VPNs or connectivity set up other than internet at each location.

As you can tell I'm a novice and couldn't find anything that walked me through how to do this.

Thanks for any help.

you cant have 2 mx in one network other then active/standby mode. you could look at the possibility of a using template and bind both networks to the template.

Hi @slarson

@jdb1 is correct, but maybe you use the VPN tunnel to concentrate all your traffic from MX2 to MX1 and manage your devices and plolices in your "main" MX1.

cheers
