Business Internet Dedicated connection to Mx75 Firewall

[amir.shahzad]

Hello,

I have Business Internet Dedicated (BID) device installed in our office just yesterday. We also received our Mx75 Firewall Device. The BID device does not have DHCP. MX75 has DHCP.  BID device has fiber coming from ISP. From BID device to MX75 I connected it with RJ45 cable. I am a bit new to this type of connectivity.

So it is like 

ISP >---Fiber Cable---> BID Device >---RJ45---> MX75 firewall >---RJ45---> Cisco Meraki Switch MS210 48 LP 

I have received the list of Public IP Addresses configured inside this BID device. 

My firewall does not show it is connected to internet. I know that I need to configure Mx75 in a way that it should know that it is connected to a BID device but not sure what Public IP to put where inside Mx75 Firewall. I am stuck thinking how to connect these two devices. 

Is the above device connection order correct? Any tips / tricks / suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Resolved.

I needed to connect my laptop to Mx75 Firewall port with RJ45 cabel.

Went to browser and typed it's default IP range of 192.168.128.1

logged in to it's console

Clicked "Configure", it asked for username and password

Username = your device Serial Number and no pw for a new Device

If this does not work then 

go to Dashboard.meraki.com > Network-Wide > Device Settings > Device Configuration > local admin and pw (if this was given then in Mx75 username = admin and password = whatever you gave there on that page that section for admin user)

Then login.

Go to "Internet 1" and "IP Assignment" and then put the public IP given to you in your email that ISP tech provided. Put the subnet mask, put gateway, put DNS of the ISP 

Click "save" and you got internet now in your firewall from your Dedicated internet device.
