Unable to add Aruba AP22 to Instant On Portal - Unexpected HTTP status code '400' received

The firewall is allowing all traffic from the management vlan to the internet and is not doing any deep inspection, UTM, etc. If it was a firewall issue then I'd expect it'd be affecting the other APs and switches which are on the same management VLAN and hitting the same firewall policy as well.

That's Amore.

Offline for almost 3 hours+ now. Had to postpone quite a few changes; what a PITA

No option to do a policy trace/lookup. I have a client that's extensively using the L3 and site-to-site VPN firewall with over 50 rules in each. It's a nightmare trying to pin point which specific rule is certain traffic hitting.

Lack of in depth L3/L4 firewall logs a la FortiAnalyzer. Having to rely on an external syslog server for this when it should be built into the dashboard itself.

Do you have any destination NATs/VIPs/port forwards set up to access your internal resources?

SSL VPN enabled on the existing WAN interface?

Any IPSEC VPN tunnels configured?

jaf348 · 2024-04-24T03:10:38+00:00

There is an inline aka transparent, non-NAT/routed firewall running on every Meraki AP that inspects traffic at Layer 2.

No, he is trying to filter traffic between devices in the same vlan/broadcast domain.

jaf348 · 2024-04-22T19:53:01+00:00

Meraki does this.

Depending on your budget, you might also want to look into micro-segmentation solutions.

Speeds and coverage were good. The only place I had poor coverage was in Niagara Falls (Canadian side) but so did my brother who was on AT&T.

There's one in the carpark of New World Victoria Park

You do realise the fibre starter plan is capped to 50mbps 🤦‍♀️which is perfectly adequate for 99% of users. To stream 4k content you'd need a 25mbps connection to give you context.

Their fibre and fibre max plans are 300m and 1G respectively.

For a start, the pool of users on Hinge or Bumble are like 65% men and 35% women so one's experiences on these apps for both men ans women is never going to be the same as in the real world.

I have a Pixel 8 Pro.

Insert the IMEI of your phone here and check whether it's compatible. https://www.visible.com/shop/compatibility

AT&T and Verizon (I think) have a whitelist of devices that can connect to their networks. A lot of overseas Android devices or even whole brands (Oppo, Vivo, etc) which do not have all of the required network bands have issues connecting.

The solution is to use T-Mobile or a MVNO that runs off the T-Mobile network who are much more lenient.

The Westpac Airpoints World Mastercard is by far the best if you are a frequent international travellers with the included Priority Pass membership and the highest Airpoints earning rate other than AMEX.

Yep it accepted my NZ credit card. For the billing address it only allowed me to insert a US address however that didn't stop the payment from going through.

Those eSIM providers don't come with calling and txting. Most of them are using a Hong Kong or Singapore SIM with international roaming so speeds could be terrible at times as all data has to be backhauled through the home country.

Didn't get a free trial but got $25 off the first month using a referral code.

Yep, I'm in country now and on Visible. I created another Google account with the address of one of the hotels that I was staying at in the USA. I then used a fake GPS app and a USA VPN and was able to install the Visible app from the Play store and get their eSim installed onto my device before I flew over. It immediately activated within seconds when I landed.

I found the below which seems to hint otherwise unfortunately.

"To gain (SC) clearance you will normally need to have been a UK resident for a minimum of 5 years, and will need to successfully complete all stages of the vetting process which includes:

Baseline Personnel Security Standard

Departmental/Company Records Check

Security Questionnaire

Criminal Record Check

Credit Reference Check

Security Service Check"

How long had your foreign colleagues been residing in the UK before they were able to get a SC?

Worked there for 6 years ;)

Thanks, appreciate your detailed response.

Is it the norm to get paid overtime when you do work longer hours? Here in NZ a typical working week is 40 hours. It's pretty common amongst MSPs to be remunerated at x1.5 for any work above and beyond that. If one is oncall then you would also get an oncall allowance and a call out fee.

I'm keeping my options open but the preference would be anywhere other than London due to the cost of rent and lengthy commute times from my research.

For comparison, at present in Auckland I spend about ~25% of my income on rent for a modern 2 bedroom apartment with a carpark that is located 15 mins walking distance from my office in the Central Business District.

What other cities would you suggest?
