MX67 Port Forwarding

Siyata
Level 1
Level 1

I have a simple network setup, 10 PC's including 2 servers. Trying to grant access to an outside 3rd party who can only use RDP to get into the server. 

I'd like to limit open access for RDP by narrowing it just by that persons IP address. But when I went to set up Port Forwarding, I received the following error: "The IP address 192.168.6.10 is not on a configured subnet." Trying to figure out where I'm supposed to add a static route, and HOW to do this properly.

For this you really should use a VPN and no plain RDP connection.

But it should work nevertheless. The "Allowed Remote IP" is the IP of the external party that you want to allow access to your server and not an internal system. This is the relevant documentation: https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/NAT_and_Port_Forwarding/Port_Forwarding_and_NAT_Rules_on_the_MX

I have it set up as you describe - as you can see from the original attached images. Still getting the same error message. 

In the picture the private IP is in the field for the remote IPs, perhaps you just accidentally swapped them? The LAN IP which you painted out is the IP of the RDP server. The remote IP is the IP that is allowed to access the server.

Same error when I swap them. 

Hello
You need to have a valid L3 lan address to allow the mapping to succeed, then you can add your port-forwarding.
