Announcing Lift-Off Badges!

[MeredithW]

We are over the moon about our latest badge! The Lift-Off badge recognizes members who have taken their first significant steps within the community.

Lift-Off Badge

 

How do I get one of these?

Earning your fly new badge is a cinch:

1. Write your first post (why not start by introducing yourself?)
2. Give one kudo to a post that you appreciate
3. Make it a habit — sign in to the Community at least twice

What if I’ve already done all that?

Any member who has already completed these three tasks will automatically be awarded this badge. If you don’t receive anything and feel this was in error, please email us at community-help@meraki.com.

What other badges are there?

Take a look at the master list of community badges.

LOVE the idea of sticker badges! Maybe we can make it happen!

[Komal]

Hi... Even I want all the badges so that I will show them to my fellow colleagues who used to make me feel I am not worth enough. But ohh Hello I am the only one who cleared the Meraki exam. 

So I don't care but I want all badges :smileytongue:  

I would like to thank Meraki for such a great enthusiasm you fill inside us with all these communities and events announcements...

[Bogdan]

Hey guys,

Kudos to all of you. Can someone share how difficult is the CMNA examination ?

[Komal]

I am also searching for the website and CMNA certification. But I guess it's only for partners...

I wanted to pursue this certification but did not get any URL or registration website for this. Can someone please help me with understanding the process for this.

Thank you in advance.

[FatherJack]

Good morning from the Netherlands. Looking forward to all these badges

[JohnGeorge]

Hello from Detroit.

I love the easy lift of Meraki to design, deploy, and support entire networks.

[BrechtSchamp]

@Bogdan 

CMNA is not difficult, is you've paid attention in the training you'll easily be able to do it.

@Komal

CMNA is indeed for partners and Cisco personnel only. But ECMS1 (formerly known as CMNO) and ECMS2 (new training) and the CMSS certification that's in development is for customers too. More info can be found on the Meraki Learning hub here: https://community.meraki.com/t5/Learning-Hub/ct-p/hub

[Komal]

Thank You @BrechtSchamp. 

I will definitely check. Thank you for resolving my confusion.

Have a good day!! 

[MWinther]

Hi there.
I'm Mikael from Denmark.

Does anyone in here know if you get a reminder in good time,

when it is time to renew your CMNA certifications?

cannot seem to find my renewal date...

Sincerely

Mikael Winther

Hi I am Glen from the US and I am my company's IT department. I started out with a Meraki MX product 2 years ago and with our latest office expansion added Meraki switchs and APs into the mix. Been very happy with the products so far. Glad to join the community!

[kdom]

Hello I am Elihu from Mexico, I am working as  a Wireless TSE, recently we are using meraky products, I want to learn more and I have earned:

CCNA, CWNA, CWSP certifications, I am working on CWAP. 

Regards to everyone  I wan a badge and a Meraki backpack please!!

[CarolineS]

Hi @MWinther -

Regarding email reminders about CMNA certification renewal... your certification itself doesn't expire, but your Meraki licenses from any promo gear will. You're eligible to take the CMNA refresh to renew your licenses 2.5 years after you took CMNA; I PM'd you with info about when you took yours. 

Cheers!

- Caroline

Hello All,

Working for a Cisco Distribution Partner ( Tech Data ) as Technical Consultant.

Dealing with most of (ALL !!) Cisco products and solutions, so also Meraki.

Do you want me helping to make this the 'Kudo Record Breaking Post' ? Click, Click, Click here below   

[CarolineS]

I like your thinking, @Bart! 

[Woody1]

I have my old green Boy Scout belt but the badges are missing.  How about making up some real belt badges?

[CarolineS]

@Woody1  GENIUS!!

[Ryan-G]

Liking the new community, learning hub and badges!!!

[DavidStabik]

As someone who has only just started with Meraki and the collaboration of the message boards, can someone tell me what the badges are for?

[BrechtSchamp]

Bragging rights... They also incentivise participation. And they activate the collector inside of us.

[MikeGII]

Here is my post for a new badge... 🙂

[oscarmart1n]

I like badges 🙂

[Decker19797]

great incentive, i used to be a boy scout and love badges:)

[mattmill]

I've enjoyed working with Meraki products in my company. Would love to find out about more certification opportunities. Currently have my CMNA. 

[MeredithW]

@mattmill Glad to hear that! You can learn more about all of our training opportunities in the Learning Hub.

[Decker19797]

Thanks Meredith I will be happier if I get a place on the Online training course I have registered for:)

[DavidStabik]

@Decker19797, I know that the training courses are difficult to get into due to the high demand for both the content and the take home equipment. There were over 140 registrations for the courses offered near me and only 15 spaces available. Good luck in getting in to one near you!

[Bossnine]

I imagine as they get the process ironed out these classes will be more accessible.

[jhaberman]

Alrighty, let's see if Meraki is the ticket.

[Nick]

Its the green golden ticket!

[tcm692]

Does it come as a sticker?? 😂 

[Nick]

Optional depending on your country

[SoCalRacer]

I believe I have done this, but still no badge 😞

[CarolineS]

@SoCalRacer - Strange, it certainly does look like you have earned the Lift Off badge! As a first troubleshooting step - try logging out and logging back in, just to make sure it's not the "Log in twice" part that's the problem?

UPDATE: @SoCalRacer - I just realized that, though you've RECEIVED kudos, you haven't GIVEN any! So just give out a kudo (How about to this comment? :-D) and you should be good to go!

[CarolineS]

@SoCalRacer - it worked! Huzzah!

[SoCalRacer]

Thanks for your help, off to find another badge to earn 🙂

[Lumbardh]

Nice one 

[Vishauk]

Love Meraki 🙂 

[Phill1]

thanks

[DaleCole]

Hi all, this is Dale from Data Express. We are ready for a huge 2020 with lots of interest in SD-WAN, Location Analytics, plus all the other Meraki goodness that people love. If anyone is in Melbourne, Australia, hit up my linked in!

[MattHolloway]

I need badges .. Badges good ..😁

[Kristian1]

Yes! I'd like my "going to the moon"-badge. Reminds me about the BitCoin hysteria some time ago 🙂

[JohnGeorge]

In the words of AvE, "I think this needs more chooch, not to be confuzzel'd with chaach."

Spanks for watching!

[AH1]

Kind of a "Janette come lately" type of person. Like the idea of badges though. 

Lift off badge...Cool

[pimentelrobert1]

yayyy

[merakimohan]

Can anyone please point me how I can prepare and pass for the Meraki exam?

Will lead me to get some work or job? I do not mind giving a few more example, if it can land me a decent job or work.

Appreciate your time.

Thanks.

[DavidD]

Heeere we go! Over the moon and ready for Lift-Off Badge.

[Kieran_JP]

Afternoon all, nice to join the community! 

[chrismcevoy]

Can i get some matching cotton for these badges to stitch em on?

[MeekSqueek]

First post:
Happy to be a community member - My actual first post was to provide some feedback and to reiterate a solution to a problem. Specifically, if direct lan streaming is not working for you when you use Meraki Cameras, check to ensure that you can resolve the DNS zone *.devices.meraki.direct correctly.

[JRK]

WOW

[DeanCTS]

And remember guys, the more badges you have the better person you are!
